Feeding programme begins in Linthipe, Malawi

If you do the figures, that’s over 2,700 children at a cost of only K25 (10 pence or 15 cents) per child per week. Nsinda school reported that enrolment increased by 65 this week as children returned to school when they heard about the programme.

This feeding programme at schools near Linthipe enables children to continue at school even during the 'hungry season', when most households eat only one meal a day to make their maize supply last until the harvest in April.
