How African spinach is keeping Karimojong children in school

Last year, WFP purchased 3,484 metric tonnes of cereals and pulses from smallholder farmers. Of this, 1,800 metric tonnes were used in the 320 schools across Karamoja, contributing $1.9m (about sh6.8b) to the local economy annually.

A pupil of Pajar Primary School in Kaabong town council, Kaabong district, harvests spinach from the school garden. Due to the feeding initiative, more girls are in school.
