Catering Academy supports NEMA Foundation's School Feeding Project

21st July 2010, 10:51am

The Catering Academy is sponsoring the NEMA Foundation's School Feeding Project; an initiative to provide school children in Mozambique with a nutritious school meal each and every day.

The Academy will supply 180 school meals each day at the Runho School, providing each child with 75% of their RDA of nutrients.

One of the key underlying reasons the Catering Academy are backing the project is to support nutrition and diet, recognising the importance for each individual to fulfil their potential and be the best they can be.

Another incentive for the Academy was to get more children into education. Before the programme started less than 20% of children completed all seven years at primary school and less than 1% of children went on to study at secondary school.

Founder director of Catering Academy, Louise Wymer said: "We have always been consciously aware of our corporate responsibility, even with effects of the recession magnifying issues within the UK industry sectors.

"It is so important that companies in our industry show their support for projects that offer recipients a better quality of life, and we are extremely proud to be part of such a worthy initiative."
