Absolutely agree—school meals are more than just nourishment; they’re a catalyst for equity, attendance, and academic success. By linking education with health, agriculture, and social protection, these programs create a powerful ecosystem that uplifts entire communities. Kudos to GPE and partners for prioritizing the holistic well-being of learners. When students are well-fed, they’re better equipped to thrive, dream, and break cycles of poverty. Let’s keep championing initiatives that nourish both minds and bodies!
