Imagine a classroom in Malawi filled with joy and enthusiasm, where students eagerly anticipate their nutrient-rich meals just as much as their lessons. Picture their radiant smiles as they savor dishes that not only satisfy their hunger but also support both their health and growth. In collaboration with the Ministry of Education and with support from the EU and WFP, Malawi is leading the implementation of the Home-Grown School Feeding Program (HGSFP). To further enhance the delivery of locally grown, nutrient-dense foods, the Seed Equal Initiative (SEI) has begun transforming the HGSFP by integrating biofortified crops in this program in select schools across Southern Malawi.
