Mwangaza Lunch Program
In July 2018, the HOH mission team visited Mwangaza Top View Academy in Golole, Kenya. Mwangaza Top View Academy is located in Golole, Kenya – not too far from the Ethiopian border. The school currently has around 270 students, many of who come from neighboring villages across the border in Ethiopia. Among these students, there are 35 children who walk daily from their village in Ethiopia to Golole to attend school. Their families already sacrifice a lot for their children to attend school, but are unable to provide the children with food to carry with them and eat during their lunch break. As a result, these children don’t eat lunch.
In November 2018, we held a fundraiser to raise $3,500 which would cover the cost of a nutritious lunch for these children for one entire school year. We not only met, but surpassed our goal! Our hope is to continue this program beyond the first year.

UPDATE: The Lunch Program is continuing into it's 2nd year! Sufficient funds have been raised that will enable the program to continue through 2020!

Prior to the implementation of the Mwangaza Lunch Program, student would sit around during their lunch break with nothing to eat....waiting for afternoon classes to resume.
