SCHOOL FEEDING, Sudan, 1971. A large-scale five-year programme of school feeding in the Sudan is costing the UN/FAO World Food Programme more than $23 million and benefiting more than 250,000 children and students. School children often have to travel great distances and many of them must be boarded and fed if they are to go to school at all. Malnutrition is widespread in the Sudan and, in these circumstances, the feeding programme is providing an incentive to the children to go to school regularly and is improving their health. The WFT contribution of wheat flour., canned fish, canned cheese, dried skim milk, edible oil, pulses and sugar will, by 1974, be providing nourishing meals for more than 132,000 boarders at various schools and 156,000 children attending day schools. In addition, savings accruing to the Government will be used to improve school buildings and facilities. Maria Radford from U.K. teaching her class in the Girls' Secondary School at Wad Medani.
