(Last Updated On: October 21, 2023)
The European Union said on Saturday it was allocating $10 million to support nearly two million Afghan primary school pupils with nutritious school snacks.
“I am really glad to say that we just signed a new contract with WFP to support two million girls and boys in primary school with nutrition snacks. This is for an amount of 10 million dollars and also an additional proof that WFP and the European Union care about the Afghan children,” EU Chargée d’Affaires Raffaella Iodice said in a video posted on her X account.
“Our school feeding programme in Afghanistan also helps to boost enrolment and attendance,” she wrote.
