Seibo’s aim is to ensure that all children’s lives are transformed through a school meal and education. Not only does a school meal feed children , but if feeds their minds and improves their performance at school. It encourages parents to send their children to school, safe in the knowledge that a meal is available there. It removes the sigma attached to going to school without lunch; a barrier that often prevents poor families from sending their children  to school. To ensure the children get the best possible education. Seibo works with partner schools in providing  ongoing training in Child Protection, Safety & Hygiene and Early Years Education. As many of Seibo’s nursery partners are located in rural areas where there are few qualified teachers, this is hugely beneficial to the development of the children under their care. Through the Seibo Kids Programme, Seibo fully sponsors nursery places in privately run, urban nurseries for the most vulnerable. Seibo is supported by a small army of volunteers,  who assist with the cooking in their communities. Monitoring and Evaluation procedures are in place, to measure the impact of Seibo’s work. There is a strong focus on growth monitoring, to ensure the ongoing health of all children.
