No Student to Go Hungry

Divine Providence School in Debre Berhan, Ethiopia, ensures that no student goes hungry thanks to its food program.

Kalkidan is one of 1,300 students at Divine Providence School in Debre Berhan, Ethiopia. Living in poverty with her mother and younger sister, the 14-year-old girl relies on her school’s food program for daily subsistence.

“If the school stops the school feeding program, I don’t think that children will continue learning here in the school,” said Abay Woldemariam, academic director at Divine Providence School.

All students receive bread each day and about 110 children receive a lunch daily through the school’s food program, according to Mr. Woldemariam.

Meet Kalkidan and her mother in this video. Then, read more about the school’s feeding program in “Closing the Hunger Gap” from the September 2024 edition of ONE.
