The handover ceremony which took place on the 27th of April was attended by representatives from JOCA, Seibo, Group Village Heads as well as representation from the Malawian Ministry of Education.

The Ministry.of Education’s representative Mrs Victoria Kachigunda later said that “JOCA, and now Seibo, is providing a model that we must emulate throughout Malawi”, “School feeding only happens in 40% of schools presently – this needs to increase”.
It sure does- and thanks to you we’re confident it will.
