What We Do

A reliable meal, every school day

Ngaara School Meals funds daily school meals for every child at Ngaara Primary School in Mbarara, Uganda. We finance the ingredients for morning porridge and a cooked lunch on every school day of the year.

We are a financing vehicle — we raise funds in Europe and transfer them directly to the school. Every cent goes to the programme.

€31 covers ingredients for one child for a full school year.

Our annual requirement is €14,000 to keep the programme running for 379+ pupils, with a buffer for price changes.
