Every morning, she wakes up her four-year-old son Augustine and gets him ready for school. The boy has a little milk and bread before he leaves. Augustine is among only a few students who get anything to eat before going to class. His school is called the Seed School Kibera. It began offering early childhood education to poor children seven years ago. Today, 60 students go to the school. They are from three to 14 years of age. Most of the children are poor and come to school hungry. This led to attention problems and learning difficulties. So the school started a food program. At 10 o’clock in the morning, the children eat porridge. And at one o’clock, they eat again before leaving for home three hours later. Benjamin Odhiambo has taught at the school for the last two years. He says the program helps both the children’s minds and bodies. He says the children look forward to the meals. Mildred Auma is a small business owner. She is one of the few people in Kibera who can provide for her family’s basic needs. She makes about $10 a day from selling groundnuts and bread. But she is still happy her son eats at school. Ms. Auma says she will look for a similar school when Augustine graduates. Patrick Aouki is the Seed School director. He says the food program gets some money from parents who make beaded jewelry. Sales of the jewels and necklaces provide about $120 a month. By feeing the children’s minds and bodies, the school hopes to lead students out of poverty into a more promising future.
