Irene's grandmother, Deborah, has been working hard to support Irene and her siblings, however she often has to make difficult decisions.

Irene enjoying school
“Irene and her siblings would come home to eat as opposed to eating at school. This affected my garden work because I had to spend time preparing food. Consequently, this hindered my ability to plant so I was receiving low yields,” Deborah told us.
With Irene traveling long distances to and from school for meals she was missing important classroom work.
Thankfully, Canadian Feed The Children’s donor-supported school feeding programs are providing nutritious meals to children for breakfast and lunch in schools across Uganda.
“School meals have helped children to stay at school for longer hours. Even children who had no hope of joining school, especially girls, have been attracted to school by the school feeding program.” Deborah says.

I no longer sleep in class compared to when I used to doze due to hunger before joining the school feeding program. After having a meal, I am able to understand the lessons that are going on, especially in the afternoon.

A lot of people say that they want a garden now because they can’t afford vegetables. They ask me about different ways to garden: indoor, outdoor, hydroponics, aquaponics. Knowing that they can grow their own lettuce indoors during the winter or start their own cold storage is a real eye opener for people.

The training I received has changed everything, including how to live my life happily. Women should not be economically dependent on men for their livelihood.
