Parents desire academic excellence in their children, and good nutrition plays a crucial role in achieving this goal. Children use both physical and mental energy during school hours which must be fueled by receiving adequate nutrition. Unfortunately, poor nutrition has led to many children being unable to attend school regularly and has negatively impacted the academic performance of others.
As a contribution to address this pressing challenge, Lagos Food Bank will partner with Tonic Technologies (CARDTONIC) on September 24th 2024, to employ the EDUFOOD program as a vehicle to foster equitable access to quality education by providing nutritious meals to food insecure young students in low-income private schools.
