SLM School Feeding Programme, one of ALG’s most ambitious
programme, ALG embarked in after the tragic floods of 2013, continues to grow. This
Project not only improves school attendance rates, through the free meals
incentive, but also improves school results reducing hunger during classes. It
also promotes gender equality since girls no longer have to stay home to cook
for their brothers. Meals are served at the SLM school where UPG Portugal
already sponsors 120 extremely underprivileged children under the supervision
of Sister Flora.
Every day, for £27’727 per year, or £3 per child per month, 800
children, between 7 and 18 years old, receive a free and nutritious lunch in
the school patio. Free meals increase school attendance, school results and the
joy of previously undernourished children at home. Happy the 800 children
reduce huge pots of food to nothing. Lunch is a true success in SLM!
School meals in SLM relieves local poverty in Manjangue
and promotes an educated childhood for extremely underprivileged children.
ALG has been offering this festive calendar to all ALG friends since 2011. This year you can also print a high definition version for only 1£!
