Health & Wellness
Our health and wellness strategy includes: nutritious daily meals, school gardens, health and hygiene learning, latrines with hand-washing stations and solar powered wells that provide clean water.
Food programs and school gardensFood insecurity is a significant barrier to education for Nigerien children. The Remember Niger Food Program ensures that students receive at least one nutritious meal each school day, guarding against food insecurity. By making sure students are well nourished, cognitive abilities improve (based on test scores) and school attendance is higher. Simply put, students who are not hungry are better equipped to engage in learning. Remember Niger accomplishes this by supporting meal programs and gardens at our schools.
Not only do school gardens provide food for students, they also provide a learning opportunity because the students are responsible for the gardens – learning to grow and prepare their own food. |
