For Billdad Otieno, a pupil at Kosawo Comprehensive School in Manyatta informal settlement, a hot meal at school is more than just food.

It is a chance to learn, grow and dream of a brighter future.

Coming from a struggling household, Billdad once went to class on an empty stomach, his concentration wavering as hunger gnawed at him.

But since joining the Tap to Eat initiative under the Food for Education programme, he now receives a nutritious meal every school day, allowing him to focus on his studies.
