    Lunch At School

    Lunch At School

    Sapana Village Social Impact has been working for promoting quality education for the most marginalized community children. We have built school buildings, computer labs, and library, provided stationary to students, provided scholarships and installed ECA materials in different schools. After doing so many things to improve the quality of education we came to realize that major reason for drop out and less attendance in schools in the rural areas is due to lack of food in their home. So, SVSI started lunch at school programs in 5 different schools of Ratnanagar Municipality and Ichchhakamana Rural Municipality in Chitwan Nepal in collaboration with the local government.
