A Meal a Day, Makes a Difference

Save the Children and World Vision School Feeding Programin Tanga.

In 2022, Mkinga and Handeni districts in Tanga region experienced severe droughts and below normal rainfall, leading to crop and livestock failures. This resulted in 20-30% of the population in these districts experiencing high levels of acutefood insecurity, including school children. The National Food Security Division – Ministry of Agriculture and Disaster Management Department-Prime Minister Office conducted amulti-sectoral assessment report that revealed low food production and projected price surges, which negatively affected food access. This led to major food insecurity in the communities,resulting in school dropouts, poor performance, and increased violence.
