Zambia: Our meals, our voice

In Zambia, World Vision’s School Meals Child-led Research initiative, part of the global ENOUGH campaign, empowers children to shape the future of school nutrition. Through interviews, focus groups, and surveys, child researchers gathered insights from their peers, uncovering key challenges such as food availability, nutritional quality, and the impact of poverty on school meals. 

This participatory approach highlights not only the barriers children face but also their aspirations for a future where every child receives nutritious meals that support learning and well-being. By amplifying children’s voices in national and global advocacy, the initiative calls for inclusive, child-informed solutions to strengthen school meal programmes across Zambia.
