Children in these remote villages like Katapazi suffer from hunger, therefore it is vital to provide food in schools, especially for the pupils who have to walk a substantial distance t seek an education.. The Butterfly Tree provides a nutritional meal for 400 orphaned and vulnerable children at Mukuni. Seeds and fertilizers are donated to a further twelve schools to enable them to have a sustainable school garden to support a feeding programme. The maize is gathered and dried to provide food throughout the winter months.
