Objective:

To support the health & wellbeing of the student community at the Government Lower Primary School, Chikkanekkundi, by providing nutritious breakfast at the school premises.

Project Details:

Sumadhura Foundation conducted a baseline assessment to realise that most of the students in the Government lower primary school are from the underprivileged communities nearby and do not have the means to have a healthy breakfast. We are in the process of identifying an appropriate vendor to start the distribution of breakfast to the school students.Also, the Sumadhura group extended help towards the maintenance of the school also for three years duration i.e., from March 2020 till April 2023, unfortunately, the school was shut down for two years because of covid-19 precautions.
Now as part of maintenance Sumadhura hired an English teacher and provided breakfast to children along with enhancing the mid-day meals and enriching the children with nutritious food. Having received a new set of white uniforms apart from the regular ones, children have shown great interest in wearing the same on Wednesdays.

Intended Impact:

The implementation of breakfast distribution at school will help increase the students attending school regularly. It also makes them understand the value of eating a healthy and balanced meal. At a community level, this can encourage more children to enrol at the school, improving their health & well-being, giving them access to high quality education and help to empower and enable the rural poor to come out of poverty.
