Integrated Education Programmes

Windle International Uganda (WIU), an International NGO operating in Uganda since 1996 has been in partnership with Convoy of Hope (COH), implementing a school feeding programme, under the Children Feeding Initiative in Rhino Camp, Imvepi and Palorinya refugee settlements in West Nile region. The initiative is aimed at boosting the nutrition, attendance and cognitive development of learners in targeted schools.

The Children Feeding Initiative intervention has over the time contributed to improved nutrition and child health, increased learning and concentration in classroom and decreased morbidity for learners in the project area. School feeding particularly helps the girls, orphans and vulnerable children and HIV affected minors to get into school and stay there, thereby enhancing enrolment and reducing absenteeism.

In 2024, this project targeted eight (8) schools in Rhino Camp and seven (7) schools each in Imvepi and Palorinya refugee settlements. The initiative has therefore boosted nutrition, attendance and cognitive development of 38,209 children enrolled in (11,811 ECD and 26,398 in primary school).
