A YUM Canada delegation sees the benefits of WFP school meals first hand

A delegation from YUM Canada recently visited WFP school meals programmes in Bolivia. They were able to see two schools in the Chuquisaca region where the children receive nutritious meals each day. Bolivia is one of the poorest countries in Latin America: of it 10.4 million population, more than a half – 69 percent in rural areas – live below the poverty line. Over the last ten years, stunting in children under 5 has remained at 27 percent nationally and 39 percent in rural areas.
