Our Feeding Programme

The Positive Impact of our Feeding Programme

• Improved nutrition: Our school nutrition support programme provides nutritious food to learners who may not have access to a balanced diet. This helps to improve their overall health and reduce the risk of malnutrition.
• Improved academic performance: Proper nutrition is essential for brain development and cognitive functioning. Studies have shown that students who receive regular meals through our school nutrition support programme perform better academically than those who do not.
• Increased energy and productivity: When the learners have access to regular meals, they can better concentrate and focus on their work or studies. This leads to increased productivity and improved performance in school, improving their long-term prospects and helping to break the cycle of poverty.
• Improved mental health: Access to regular meals can help to reduce stress and anxiety, which can have a positive impact on mental health.
• Poverty alleviation – Our school feeding programme provides peace of mind to the parents/guardians who cannot afford to provide their children/wards with nutritious meals while at home, improving overall food security in the communities we serve.
• Reduced crime and social problems: PSFA’s school feeding programme has played an integral role in reducing crime and social problems by providing a positive outlet for people in need. When people have access to food and other basic necessities, they are less likely to resort to illegal activities to survive.
• Increased community engagement: PSFA’s feeding programme has brought people together and helped to build a sense of community, leading to increased social connections and a greater sense of belonging.
• Community empowerment - our volunteer food preparers receive ongoing mentorship and training.
