Introduction
In a bid to address food insecurity among school children in the county, Governor Gladys Wanga has through the Executive Committee, rolled out a school-feeding program that seeks to provide meals to students during the school day.

It can also help to alleviate the burden on families who may struggle to provide adequate nutrition for their children.
