King Letsie III of Lesotho has commended the government of Kenya under President William Ruto for its commitment in the school meals program.
Speaking in Nairobi after a benchmarking tour in Ruiru, Kiambu County, the King and his entourage accompanied by the President of the African Development Bank, Dr.
Akinwumi Adesina and the Ministry of Education officials were marvelled at accomplishments in the school feeding program in the country. "African governments can integrate school feeding into their national fabric to nurture minds for a better future of our continent," said the King adding that African leaders should take the lead in championing school feeding and ending school-age hunger.
King Letsie III took cognizant of model young philanthropists like Kenyan Wawira Njiru, the founder of Food for Education, who was recognized as the United Nations Person of the Year in October 2021 for taking lead in start-ups in nutrition for others to replicate scaling up impactful school feeding programs.
