The "Growing up with mountainous preschool students" project has completed two-thirds of its journey in Son La with much joy. 132 students from Chieng Khoa Primary and Secondary School in Van Ho district, Son La province, have been provided with daily nutritious semi-boarding meals.
As of now, a total of 8,580 meals have been delivered to the students, contributing to a nearly 60% reduction in the malnutrition rate compared to the beginning of the school year. According to the mid-year report, out of the 132 sponsored students, 45 were initially malnourished. By the end of the first semester, the number of malnourished students had decreased to 26.
Especially since the introduction of nutritious lunch meals, All students fully engage in classes while maintaining a balanced lifestyle.. On average, the students have gained 2 cm in height and over 0.5 kg in weight since the start of the new school year.
