To support children, porridge is perfect. Milled from locally-grown grains, it is readily available at local markets in Kigali. It is easy to transport, store, and prepare with the simplest of kitchen supplies. It is warm and nourishing, and children love it. And, at about 15 cents per serving, it is great value for the money.
Here, we see the chef at Kinyana VIllage sorting her monthly supply. Just outside is the pile of firewood that she kindles to boil water and cook the dry porridge inside each of these brown paper bags. One kilo of porridge goes a long way to prevent malnutrition, provide energy, and promote normal brain development for her students. Thanks to your generous support for the preschoolers, porridge... is just perfect!
