\u00a9 Joelcio Carvalho\/WFP<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n By this Friday (25th), a set of Brazilian social technologies for water harvesting, seed production, and food preparation will have been implemented, in collaboration with the local population, in public schools across four provinces in Kenya.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Among these technologies, the construction of water tanks stands out, enabling schools to access potable water for consumption and garden irrigation.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This initiative is part of the technical mission by the WFP Centre of Excellence against Hunger in Brazil, in partnership with the Rockefeller Foundation, the Kenyan government, WFP Kenya, the Federal University of Campina Grande (UFCG), and the Brazilian Embassy in Kenya.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Four water tanks have already been completed, and gardens and eco-friendly stoves have been established in three schools, all developed with the local community to improve their skills and allow them to replicate the techniques in other areas of the region. The mission\u2019s final tasks include building one more garden and stove, to be completed by October 27th.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The initiative aims to provide schools with the capacity to establish local school feeding programs, supplying nutritious, locally produced food to children. It draws inspiration from Brazil\u2019s National School Feeding Program (PNAE) to foster similar school feeding policies.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The validated technologies will be part of a coordinated strategy with WFP Kenya and the Kenyan government to create a model that supports the country\u2019s goal of achieving universal school feeding, with local food procurement by 2030.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
