Food for Development

This board highlights our school farming project in Tanzania, which provides students in Kilimanjaro, with one nutritional meal a day. We work in 9 schools, with three schools growing maze, and the rest - vegetables like carrots, cabbage, aborigines, beans and Kale. This project has improved attendance in children, with average percentage of underweight children dropped from 20% to 7%.

The project aims to provide the schools with assistance and guidance on sustainable farming, helping them to harvest vegetables which provide children with hands on experience and access to food at school and home.

We provided schools with seeds, fertilizers and pesticides, and taught children farming techniques-how to irrigate, storage of vegetables and the nutritional importance of vegetables for children.Since this project, children have been eating vegetables two to three times a week in their lunches, which in turn has increased attendance.

Childreach Update

School farming and gardening programme has benefited 39 schools in Moshi rural and Simanjiro districts to date. Rather than provide the food ourselves in a basic feeding programme, we wanted to empower local schools and communities to do this themselves, thereby ensuring the project’s sustainability, building the capacity and skills of all involved.To support this project please visit - www.childreach.org.uk/schoolfarming
