New Ithemba labatwana ECD forum

🥬 [NUTRITION CAMPAIGN] The National Schools Feeding Programme (NSNP) is lauded for feeding about 9 million poor primary and secondary school learners daily. This programme was created because our government understood the importance of nutrition for learning.

Why should we exclude our youngest children from receiving the nutrition they need to learn and thrive?

Real Reform for ECD's Right to Nutrition campaign wants to see an ECD nutrition programme, like the NSNP, that ensures that all children at both registered and unregistered early learning programmes receive nutritious meals.

There is currently nutrition provision through a portion of the ECD per child per day subsidy which is ringfenced for nutrition, however, we know that this amount is not enough and reaches too few.

To find out more about the campaign, check out this Campaign Explainer below and stay tuned to our website on www.ecdreform.org.za as we upload our advocacy materials and research papers throughout the week.
