Communities with higher percentage of children in school were encouraged by the school feeding programme. These communities are beneficiaries of a system that provides a meal a day for students in school,this not only increased the number of students in school but also more healthy children who were hitherto malnourished.
This scheme also empowered more women as these host communities engage the women to prepare the nutritious meals and distribute to schools.This scheme not only benefited the children alone but the community as a whole because of the level of education and economic power.
The scheme mainly use poultry and poultry products to feed the students.The meal is often accompanied by eggs or chicken as protein source.The school feeding programme has expanded its reach to more countries and engaging more people.
The school feeding programme has also raised the bar by encouraging host communities to venture into agriculture to rear chicken and plant vegetables . This will be a rallying point for the community that will engage more people and feed more.
The feeding programme could also make use of powdered eggs to achieve same results.In communities where the need is severe as in emergency situations such as after an earthquake or flooding.The egg powder is safe,handy and hygienically packed to deliver wholesome nutritious meals.
The egg powder can be sent to various locations,over long distances and it will still be fresh.
