Benefits
• Improved student behaviour-“the children were more alert, not tired, not complaining, not hungry and had better behaviour”
• Increased health and nutrition for students-“the children were getting better nutrition” and “it was a learning experience for the students – they are learning about nutrition”
• Improved concentration/energy-“the students are able to concentrate better and cooperate more at school with breakfast”
• Increased food security–“it is difficult to get food here because people don’t have vehicles, so the breakfast program helped students to have access to breakfast” and “the students feel secure because they know they will get breakfast and they know that it helps them”
