The organization’s #SouthSudan country coordinator, Dipankar Datta says they are currently implementing the program in three schools in the Lologo residential area, with plans to expand to Wau - targeting children at the UN protected area.
Datta says the free meals have contributed to high enrolment levels and improved performance in schools.
