Feeding Programs are common in public schools where malnourished students are beneficiaries. However, these programs last only for a few months due to financial constraints. This is one of the reasons why Senate Bill 1279 or the “National School Feeding Program Act” was introduced to institutionalized school feeding programs across country to combat hunger and under nutrition among students.
Feeding is a tool, which today effectively enables hundreds of millions of poor children nationwide to be sustained to their meals. With that, Sto. Niño ES, headed by Ma’am Marissa Amancio the school’s feeding coordinator, is one of the schools who actively conducting school-based feeding program yearly. The participants of this program are the wasted and severely wasted pupils from Pre-school to Grade 6. SNES Feeding Program does more than alleviate absenteeism and the effects of malnutrition. Alleviates the health and developmental consequences of childhood malnutrition. In the long term, the local community will begin to rise above poverty as more children complete their education.
