As we began to intervene with school fees for the children through BCS. We discovered that the lack of school fees wasn’t the only cause of children being unable to get a good education. Many of these kids don’t have lunch while at school. Since the schools must keep the fees low, in a quest to break even, they require that students pay school fees and school lunch separately. It’s therefore not uncommon to find kids in these rural schools with no lunch but still expected to compete academically with kids in better conditions at the national exams.
Once the kids have paid for school lunch, they are entitled to a cup of porridge. Since a good number cannot afford to pay for lunch, they go without it. You can start making a difference in the life of a child today by guaranteeing them a cup of porridge for their lunch at UGX 180.000 or $50 for a whole year.
