RUFUNSA District Commissioner Richard Mabena has commended the Adventist Development Relief Agency (ADRA) and the World Food Programme (WFP) for complimenting government’s directive to put up irrigation schemes for the school feeding production units.

Mr Mabena says the government appreciates the contribution of cooperating partners toward the implementation of programmes aimed at improving the welfare of learners and strengthening food security in schools.

“Partnerships between Government and cooperating partners are very important in supporting national development programmes and improving the learning environment for pupils. The production unit and poultry project are going to supplement food supplies for the School Feeding Programme through increased agricultural production and sustainability of the programme,” said Mr Mabena.

The District Commissioner further called on the school management and the surrounding community to protect the project from vandalism as the project was not only for the school but the entire community.

Meanwhile, Chiyota Combined School Head Teacher, James Mutami, welcomed the initiative, expressing appreciation for the support provided to the institution.
