① Kaphuta Primary School
During group work, the children gather around a single book, their faces glowing with curiosity and excitement.
Thanks to the school feeding program, the children come to school energized and ready to learn. Scenes like this show how even a simple meal can nourish both body and mind, enabling students to engage actively in their studies and explore new ideas with enthusiasm.

The school feeding program not only provides nutritious porridge but also encourages healthy habits such as proper hygiene practices. These habits are essential for ensuring that children stay safe and healthy at school.
Scenes like these highlight how Seibo’s efforts nurture both the hearts and bodies of children, helping them grow up healthy, happy, and eager to learn.

Sharing this nutritious meal together creates an atmosphere of positivity and energizes both their bodies and minds.
These moments show how the school feeding program does more than provide nourishment—it fosters motivation, enthusiasm, and a genuine sense of joy in coming to school each day.

② Kazengo Primary School
When the first graders first started attending school, many were so nervous they cried.
However, thanks to the school feeding program, they now arrive early each morning, excited for the day ahead. When asked if they enjoy school, they cheerfully replied, “We love the porridge!”
This simple meal not only nourishes their bodies but also helps them feel welcomed and safe in their new school environment—supporting their willingness and enthusiasm to learn.

④ Kabuku Primary School
On October 16, our school feeding supervisors conducted a hands-on cooking demonstration at Kabuku Primary School to reinforce best practices and ensure adherence to standard operating procedures for preparing porridge.
The session began from scratch—firewood preparation, water collection, and heating the pot—with volunteer cooks enthusiastically participating in every step.
These trainings not only improve the quality and safety of school meals but also strengthen the skills of community cooks, ensuring that all children receive nutritious and properly prepared porridge.
