The School Food Project
A portfolio research project
About the project.
The School Food Project started in 2021 aims to build a picture of the school feeding program in Kenya using research. The project will share the overview and highlight the gains of school feeding through essays.
This incorporated an initial field visit focused on private schools in Busia County and later in Nairobi (Dishi na County) to provide qualitative and quantitative data using a survey, observation, and interviews.

Why school food?
School food enables millions of children to receive education and stay healthy and therefore a valuable resource.
Ultimately, the school feeding programs resurgence in Kenya under the Kenya Kwanza government administration, motivates this investigation.
