Rwanda: Our meals, our voice

In Rwanda, World Vision’s School Meals Child-led Research initiative, part of the global ENOUGH campaign, places children at the heart of efforts to improve school nutrition. Through qualitative and quantitative methods, including interviews, focus groups, and surveys, child researchers gathered insights from their peers to uncover key challenges such as food quality, access, and the impact of poverty on school meals. 

This child-led approach highlights both the obstacles children face and their aspirations for a future where every student enjoys nutritious meals that support academic success and personal development. By amplifying children’s voices in national and global advocacy, the initiative calls for inclusive, sustainable solutions to strengthen school meal programmes across Rwanda.
