Minister of Education Dr. Abdulrazaq al-Ashwal welcomed on Sunday June 30, a program to provide a daily meal for school children from the World Food Program (WFP). This came in a meeting between al-Ashwal and Bishaw Parajuli, the Resident Representative of the World Food Program (WFP) in Yemen.
Parajuli said that they will work to provide a daily meal to children in schools, boys and girls alike simply because a hungry child cannot focus on education.
Parajuli said that they will work in the future to help people get their food and that they are working on the preparation of new programs for the years 2013 – 2014. The objectives of these programs are to help communities rely on themselves and contribute to the improvement of agriculture, water storage, and small-scale projects, especially for women as well as improve the nutritional status of children and continue in the provision of food aid to the poorest targeted groups in Yemen
He added that they’ll be working in partnership with a number of United Nations organizations like UNICEF and FAO in order to improve food security and agriculture, as well as cooperate with the United Nations relief program with respect to improving employment opportunities, encourage the growing of crops and strengthen the capacity of local communities.
