In the African nation of Malawi, the school drop out rate is high, as is malnutrition amongst students.

But a Government school feeding program is working on changing that. It's already begun in certain areas and results are proving to be positive. The Government now hopes the program will reach more than 3 million children who are enrolled in school.

People involved say the project's important because it makes sure the children can concentrate at school, which will end up helping to make a better future for them and their country.
