PSFA targets the poorest schools and provides nutritional meals, which the children enjoy very much.
The Menus
- Mondays: Rice and Soy Relish
- Tuesdays: Bread and Soy Relish
- Wednesdays: Samp and Beans
- Thursdays: Rice and Soy Relish
- Fridays: Bread spread with peanut butter and jam, and served with a micronutrient enriched, soya-based milk drink
Our field workers visit schools frequently to monitor the preparation and serving, ensuring that our children receive their meal daily, early in the morning. The menu aims to provide 20-25% of a childís Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA).
HOW MANY CHILDREN ARE FED?
PSFA provides school feeding to 160 000 children daily. The Education Department provides PSFA with a subsidy to feed 137 000 children in 540 schools. While these funds do help, the number of children that require school feeding is greater than the subsidy can provide for. From PSFA funds, an additional 12 000 children are fed in these schools, as part of our supplementary feeding programme.
PSFA also provides school feeding to 11 000 children in 65 schools where the government does not provide any subsidy. PSFA has to raise the necessary funds to provide this assistance.
