Food programme launched at UMV

Senahasa has taken on responsibility for a Food Programme at UMV. It is partly funded by the Sri Lankan Government which has a programme to feed children in Grades 1-5 in poorer schools.However there is often a timing issue with funds reaching the schools and so Senahasa provides interim funds and leadership to ensure that the children are fed everyday. Senahasa has also received funding from others to support the Food Programme for children in Grades 6 - 13 who previously had watched the younger children eat and go hungry themselves.

The programme has been a huge success - the children look healthier and their grades have imoproved significantly.
