Famine Outcomes

In the academic year 2009-2010, over 157 kindergartens, primary and secondary schools and tertiary institutes, with 38,000 teachers, students and parents, learnt about and experience what hunger is like among children in developing countries, and they did it through School Famines. The funds raised by students and the public have been used to support agricultural projects, food security projects and food aid distribution in Nepal, Kenya, Uganda and Sierra Leone.

	Food security project in Nepal Provided seeds to 872 poor households and agricultural training to 1,092 farmers in Nepal. The nutritious vegetables improve children's health.
	Agricultural project in Kenya Provided 6,000 pawpaw and mango seedlings to 300 farmers in Kenya. Children can get vital vitamins from the fruits and their families are able to earn extra income by selling the surplus.
	Food aid in Uganda Distributed food aid to 31,361 Ugandans for one year and helped improve their health conditions.
	Agricultural project in Kenya Provided 20 oxen to poor communities in Kenya. Produces from the land will provide various nutrients to children's diet and become source of income when the families sell the surplus.
	Food security project in Sierra Leone Built 10 fishponds and provided fingerlings to destitute families in Sierre Leone. Eating fishes help promote children's health and their families earn extra income by selling the harvest.
