Light Up Hope’s Post

According to a recent article by Kajiado News Update (https://lnkd.in/d3prA6Dz ) half of the students in Kajiado are at risk of dropping out of school if feeding programs are suspended. Kajiado, an arid area plagued by drought, relies heavily on pastoralism. The increasing occurrences of drought have left many children vulnerable to hunger, leading directly to school dropouts. Feeding programs established by the government and NGOs like ours have been crucial in keeping Kajiado's learners in class. However, a recent report by WHO, cited in the article, highlights that government feeding programs are now at risk due to the government's planned budget cuts. Currently, our feeding program supports 78,168 students, covering about 48% of the schools in Kajiado. Despite our efforts, 52% of children in the county are still at risk of starvation and school dropout. Our feeding program has become a lifeline for Kajiado's learners, and we urgently need support from donors and well-wishers to continue and expand our efforts. Please make a donation today to help us bridge the gap for these vulnerable students. Together, we can secure their future. Donate now via this link: https://lnkd.in/dwSSMmp9
