Molly’s favorite subjects in school are math and science. She studies hard and hopes to be a nun one day. The importance of an education is clear to this young girl. As Molly says, “going to school is important because education is the key to success.”

In places like the Valley View Academy in Nairobi, WFP school meals are helping increase enrolment and promote regular attendance – especially for girls.

Molly’s future is bright thanks in part to WFP school meals. As for the present, she’s just having a lot of fun being a 13-year-old girl.
