In Buhunda village, hunger doesn’t just affect health—it disrupts education and exposes girls to risk. One grandmother shared a troubling reality:

“Many girls drop out of school because of early pregnancies. One reason is hunger—day schools don’t provide meals, so girls go through class hours without food. Some end up in relationships with men just to get money for basic needs, even just snacks.”

This story highlights how the absence of school feeding programs can push girls into unsafe situations, trading their future for survival. TAHEA Mwanza works to address this through advocacy for school meals, family support, and protection programs that keep girls safe and learning.
