Wibu-Systems supports school meal program

The situation in Haiti is becoming increasingly dramatic. The rampant gang crime and violence of recent years has clearly left its mark on families and especially on children. Many families have had to leave their homes or have at least taken their children out of the danger zone around Port au Prince. But the supply situation is critical. In addition to education, access to regular meals at the schools run by nph and St. Luc is an essential element in helping to give the children a future. Many children come to class without having eaten anything that day. And for many, the school lunch is the only hot balanced meal they receive. As the saying goes, "An empty stomach doesn't like to study." ... that's true. But hunger has even more far-reaching consequences: Hunger weakens the immune system and stunts a child's development. Through the school meals program, a valuable contribution is made to give children the chance for healthy development and a better future.
