The kitchen was constructed with support from sponsors and donors. SVSI and the local
government have worked together to ensure that the kitchen is safe and hygienic. The kitchen has the necessary supplies and appliances to prepare and store the day meals. SVSI has organized a training program to educate the staff on proper food hygiene and safety. The training program focuses on how to prepare and store food, how to ensure proper hygiene in the kitchen, and how to manage the kitchen operations. SVSI also provides a monitoring system to ensure that the kitchen staff follows the safety standards; the kitchen is also supported by the local community. A team of volunteers from the local community helped in the operations of the kitchen.
