Hunger is the underlying reason behind Egypt’s high dropout rates from school. The childrens’ weak nutrition affects their overall health and results in their lack of focus in class, which in turn increases failure and dropout rates.

For that reason, the EFB launched the School Feeding Prgram under the supervision of the Ministry of Education. The program provides nutritious hot meals for school students in the poorest territories, in order to reduce the parents’ burden of having to feed their child, while also providing their child with a healthy meal at school that will enable them to focus better in class.

The EFB also provides the childrens’ mothers with cooking jobs and training courses at these same schools. This not only gives the mothers a stable monthly salary, but also ensures that the quality of the food served will be at its best.

We developed the school feeding program to provide investment chances for Junior investors through financing, establishing and maintaining school feeding kitchens.
