What is School Meal Program?
Height and Weight Measurement (BMI) Camps
As part of our School Meal Program to prioritize the health and development of the young students, we organize BMI camps in different schools before starting School Khana Program and revise it after 6 to 8 months of Mid-day meals in school so that we can measure the improvement in overall attendance and health of students after starting of School Meal Program. These camps serve as a vital initiative where the height and weight of students are being checked, ensuring a comprehensive assessment of their overall health.
School Vision Program
What we do
We understand that vision correction can be costly, and many families may not have the means to provide their children with the required eyeglasses. We organize eye camps in schools and check the eyesight of students and staff. In our commitment to removing financial barriers to better vision, we gift 1st free eyeglasses to all students and staff members identified with vision problems of their life.
Serving 2,392,000 meals in Students on Monthly Basis
Our School Meal program is serving 2,392,000 meals among students in Pakistan on monthly basis through our school feeding program. Last year, we fed 10 million students with healthy and nutritious meal which shows about 33% improvement in attendance and enrollment.
How School Meal Fight with World Hunger Crisis?
In many impoverished areas, children often skip school to help their families with household chores or work for additional income. By providing free or subsidized meals at schools, families are encouraged to send their children to school regularly because they know they will receive nutritious meal. This, in turn, helps to increase school attendance and enrollment rates. Ensuring that children have access to regular meals at school makes them more likely to stay in school and complete their education.
Extra Circular Activities
Despite of providing mid-day meals AWT also organize extra circular activities in schools through our volunteers in which students spend time with them. Allah Walay Trust also distribute Rashan on the occasion of Ramazan among Muslims, Christians on the occasion of Christmas and Qurbani Meat on the occasion of Eid-ul-Adha among the students so that they can also enjoy the happiness of these festivals.
