The five-year programme began in September 2020 and is operating in 26 schools in Nacala-\u00e0-Velha, Rib\u00e1u\u00e8 and Malema districts in Nampula province.<\/p>\n<p>While schools were closed because of Covid-19, the children\u2019s families received food hampers to alleviate the impacts of the pandemic, encouraging pupils to continue their studies at home and supporting the food security of their families.<\/p>\n<p>The beneficiary schools were selected considering the socio-economic profile of each region, with the involvement of the communities and the local Provincial Directorate of Education and Human Development.<\/p>\n<p>The WFP\u2019s school feeding programme aims to reduce the rate of school absenteeism, the main cause of which is associated with lack of food. The programme contributes to the generation of income in the communities, as a significant part of the food prepared is purchased from local producers.<\/p>\n<p>School feeding is \u201can essential part of the work of the WFP in Mozambique\u201d, says Interim Director of WFP Mozambique, Pierre Lucas. \u201cWith this programme, we hope to offer a balanced diet in order to increase the retention rate of students in school and support their pedagogical performance and contribute to their nutrition and health.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Celso Mutadiua, Community Relations Manager at Nacala Logistics, says: \u201cWe are grateful for the opportunity to finance the WFA\u2019s school feeding programme. Investing in the education of our children is investing in the future of Mozambique.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The United Nations World Food Program, a 2020 Nobel Peace Prize, is the world\u2019s largest humanitarian organisation, saving lives in emergencies and using food assistance to build a path to peace, stability and prosperity for people in recovery of conflicts, disasters and the impact of climate change.<\/p>\n<p>Nacala Logistics is responsible for the management and operation of a 1,600-km rail-port system carrying coal, general cargo and passengers.
