School Food Program: 4 million meals donated

The Great Plains School Food Program started in 2022 as an emergency relief to a drought in the region. The community reached out with concerns about dwindling attendance at schools due to the lack of food. The teachers also raised concerned that those who did attend had struggling attention spans. Great Plains specialises in understanding hurdles to education and reacting quickly to be able to reduce hurdles, as education is the basis of a thriving region. 51 schools are supported across the Amboseli communities, Shompole and Maasai Mara regions.

Great Plains sponsor the food for 12,722 school kids to receive a nutritious meal every day at school.

“It is January 2024 term one, Great Plains Foundation feeding program landed today! Many thanks to the Great Plains families for this maximum support towards our community members through this Education program and many others. You can tell by last year KCPE school exam results the impact of this program. Oltiasika Primary School and Enkaji Naibor were the leading schools in Amboseli-Tsavo ecosystem, and this was efforts through Greatplains Foundation ongoing feeding program.”
