Rwanda: World Vision Rwanda Turns to Golf to Drive Action On Child Nutrition
[New Times] World Vision Rwanda will host the Friends of World Vision Golf Tournament on Saturday, August 22, as part of efforts to mobilize support for initiatives aimed at improving child nutrition and strengthening school feeding programmes.
World Vision Rwanda is organizing a golf tournament to raise funds and partnerships for improving child nutrition and school feeding programs. The event, taking place on August 22 at Kigali Golf Resort & Villas, is part of the ENOUGH Campaign, a collective effort to end child hunger and ensure access to nutritious food. The estimated cost for implementing the centralized kitchen under the Integrated School Feeding Model in Burera District is $500,000, benefiting around 8,000 children in a region with high stunting rates among children.
World Vision Rwanda's National Director, Pauline Okumu, emphasized the importance of nutrition in children's health, learning, and long-term development. The tournament aims to demonstrate how sport and partnerships can support social causes and calls on golfers, businesses, and partners to join the initiative. The golfers will compete in various handicap categories, and AllAfrica reports on this initiative as one of many diverse news sources.
