A second study is being prepared in rural Eastern Cape Lady Frere district in 2014

now I can play and I’m strong because I eat my breakfast every day”

attentive in class”
• “The breakfast has reduced late coming and absenteeism “
• “We can see a difference in the children's health and performance”
• “The kitchen has not only empowered the school but is an investment into the whole community”

been distributed by Tiger Brands
through the Food Parcel Project.
11. Holiday Feeding
12. Lessons Learnt
1. Don’t take anything for granted
2. All the Policies, Standard Operating Procedures, Manuals and Training is futile without relationships .
3. “Stick to your knitting”
What needs to be driven by both school and
donor community to stimulate
in -school feeding programmes
