President William Ruto took a hands-on approach in supporting Kenya's school meal initiatives by personally serving chapati to students at Toi Primary School in Kibra on Thursday. The event, which was part of the Dishi Na County program, aims to provide nutritious meals to schoolchildren in an effort to improve their health and academic performance.
The President, alongside local education officials, served a wholesome lunch consisting of chapati, rice, and special ndengu (green grams), highlighting the government’s commitment to improving the nutritional quality of school meals across the country. The program is designed to combat malnutrition, which can negatively impact students' focus and overall learning experience.
In his address to the students and staff, President Ruto emphasized the importance of nutrition in shaping the future of Kenya’s children. "A healthy child is a more focused and active learner," he said. "By providing balanced meals, we are not only supporting our children's health but also ensuring they perform better in class."
The Dishi Na County program, launched by the government, aims to ensure that every child in the constituency receives a nutritious meal during school hours, helping them stay energized and ready to learn. The initiative has been praised by parents and teachers, who believe it will significantly improve the academic performance and well-being of students in the area.
"Today, we are taking a major step toward making sure that every child, regardless of their background, has access to healthy food that fuels their growth and learning," President Ruto added.
This initiative is part of the President's broader agenda to improve the quality of education and address the challenges faced by students in underserved communities. By providing nutritious meals, the government aims to not only boost academic success but also reduce hunger and poverty among schoolchildren.
The President’s participation in the meal service underscores his personal commitment to the well-being of Kenyan children and his administration’s focus on addressing the needs of vulnerable communities across the country.
