Health meals

According to the United Nations World Food Programme, 23 million primary school age children go hungry every day in Africa alone, majority of them are girls. The need to reduce hunger while increasing school enrollment in these children is obvious, and Healthy Brain Nutrition programs have been developed to target this complicated problem.

Healthy Brain Uganda is a volunteer run organization committed to improve school feeding. children to have basic food and vitamins that supports a child’s overall well-being. We believe each and every child deserves access to better feeding

Proper nutrition is the practical tool for healthy minds, muscle, and bone development. Research show that malnutrition is the cause of both physical and emotional problems, including learning disabilities and motor skill delays. Healthy Brain wants to ensure that every child has a well-balanced diet and is healthy in every way. Our nutrition programs are providing children from birth to high school with the nutrition needed to grow, learn, and stay healthy

School children receive a nutritious porridge blended from Corn, Amaranths, Millet, Soya and pumpkins, which ensures that children are well nourished enough to concentrate on their schooling.

 The programme also reaches malnutrition hospitals and clinics in Uganda, where Healthy Brains provides Vitamix Nutrition porridge for child patients.

Sustainable School Meals (Solution)

To reduce dependency on aid organizations and school fees, Healthy Brains promotes and supports the sustainable self-production of food in schools.

The project also aims to join together food productions techniques such as Aquaponics, aquaculture, hydroponics and aeroponics. Schools will be able to cover initial investment and maintenance costs by selling surplus on the local market.

Health Brains aims to reduce hidden hunger, improve student attendance and improve health and dietary practices in primary and high schools.

Poverty eradication, health, education, food security and nutrition continue to be the essential priorities and targets for sustainable development Schools can make a sizeable, long-lasting impact on these determinants through various entry points and opportunities provision of nutritious meals through school-based programmes. This can improve vulnerable children’s attendance levels, attention capability and parent motivation, potentially affecting academic performance and future enrolment, particularly for girls
