The First Lady Rachel Ruto has launched the 'Feed One End Hunger' pilot programme in Migori County to address hunger and boost the nutritional value of the primary school-going pupils.
Rachel, who spoke during the launch of the School Milk Feeding programme, aimed at helping pupils of Bondo Kosiemo Primary School in Nyatike West Sub County fight hunger, said that the programme will help children concentrate on their learning. "It is not easy to teach pupils who are hungry, and that's why the milk feeding programme under the initiative 'Feed one-end hunger,' aims at retaining pupils in school," said Rachel.
The First Lady called upon more well-wishers to join the initiative so as to serve more school-going children across the nation.
According to Rachel, the milk feeding programme is currently benefiting 2.5 million children across the nation, with more than 7.5 million still missing from the school milk feeding programme.
