Nutritious Home-Grown School Meals for Malawian children

Six thousand school children in Kasungu and Lilongwe districts will soon, starting September 2023, eat nutrient-dense biofortified school meals thanks to the Nutritious School Meals for Malawi project.

HarvestPlus and Nascent Solutions are collaborating to overcome the ongoing challenge of poor diets in the country, especially in rural areas where parents find it challenging to secure enough nutritious and affordable food for their children. Inadequate nutrition weakens children’s immunity and development and increases their risk of illness and death from common childhood diseases.
