She shared with us, “I love coming to school because I get to eat porridge. It makes me feel strong and ready to study.”
Her words reflect how the school meal program brings comfort and joy to children, enriching their school experience.

His father shared, “I was hesitant about sending my child to school, but after learning about Seibo’s meal program, I felt assured. Now, I happily send him to school every day.” He is currently in Grade 3.
St. Paul’s Primary School
Children are enjoying their meal time.
“Let me show you how to eat porridge!” one child excitedly demonstrates how to use a spoon, making the others laugh.
Meal time is not just about nutrition—it is also a crucial moment for fostering friendships and cooperation.
Two girls holding their porridge cups laugh together.
“We can smile every day because we don’t have to worry about being hungry,” they said.
A full stomach provides a sense of security, contributing to a brighter and more positive school life.
Mzimba LEA Primary School
A first-grade boy eagerly awaits his favorite porridge.
He had longed to attend school after watching his friends enjoy their meals.
“Finally, I am part of the school where I can eat porridge!” he said with excitement.
His friend, a second-grader, was one of the children who inspired him to start school.
Talking about daily school meals encouraged him to attend.

“Knowing that we are feeding and nourishing the children in our community makes every day fulfilling. We are grateful to Seibo for this opportunity,” shared the cooking staff at Atamandike 2 Nursery School.
