Food Security & Nutrition in Schools

Ten commitments

• Acknowledge that a hungry child cannot learn; eradicate classroom hunger entirely.
• Implement a universal, free, and highly nutritious daily breakfast and lunch program in all grassroots schools.
• Source food locally from farmers within the community to boost the local economy and ensure freshness.
• Maintain strict hygienic and nutritional standards, eliminating processed sugars and junk food from campuses.
• Establish school gardens where students learn to grow their own vegetables, integrating agriculture with biology lessons.
• Provide take-home dry rations (flour, oil, lentils) to the families of students with perfect monthly attendance.
• Regularly monitor the Body Mass Index (BMI) and nutritional health of all students through the medical wing.
• Educate students on the ethics of food consumption, the dangers of food waste, and global food inequality.
• Create an emergency food reserve within the school network to support the community during times of crisis or inflation.
• Ensure the dignity of the students is maintained; meals are served in a respectful, communal dining environment.
