BIC Adressing food security issues

What BIC is doing in addressing Food Security issues?

BIC is implementing a community empowerment programme in 19 Primary Schools in three sub counties thus , Mpondwe Lhubiriha TC, Karambi and Nyakiyumbu sub counties not limited. Parents have established gardens at school and Parents are replicating good agronomic practices adopted from Schools at community gardens ( selected lead farmers) to address food insecurity and improve performance in primary Schools. Some Schools that planted quick maturing crops have started harvesting. See the photos

Schools that harvested yet, have started providing midday meals to sub candidates and candidates from the harvest in their Schools. Parents, teachers, School leadership and LCBs so far agreed to use the harvest for meals (porridge) to their pupils.

 Now this has put  a smile on the face of the pupils. See photos below.
