Millennium Fellowship Project: Malaika Kitchens
Malaika Kitchens' goal is to create self-sustainable school meals programs in rural government schools. It starts off by identifying the school that we think would be a good partner and having a couple of school meetings with them to ensure that the community and parents are on the same page and are willing to commit. Then we build the kitchen for them and train two cooks, who are parents from the community. We then connect them to local suppliers and logistics and cover the first two weeks of meals. During those two weeks, we have more meetings with the parents where we tell them how the payment method will work and that they need to pay 50ksh (0.30$) per meal, and after that, they start paying, and we hand the program over to them. We then still stay in contact to look and collect data on the impact, as well as helping with certain school improvement projects together.
