School farming and school feeding have a long-standing history in Kenya, with school gardens traditionally serving as learning spaces where children gained agricultural skills, developed an appreciation for farming and the dignity of labour, and learned to produce food for their families and generate income. This tradition was strengthened through initiatives such as the 4-K Clubs—Kuungana, Kufanya Na Kusaidia Kenya (“get together, act and help Kenya”), while agriculture was later incorporated into the primary school curriculum under the 8-4-4 system in 1986. School feeding programmes have also played a significant role in improving children’s nutrition, attendance and retention, with approximately 1.3 million children in 4,700 schools receiving daily meals by the end of 2001. Despite this history, financial constraints mean that many children in rural Maasai Mara communities, orphanages and rescue centres still lack consistent access to school farming and feeding programmes. WAVE Children’s Foundation therefore views nutrition as more than providing a meal; a well-nourished child is better able to concentrate, participate, learn and remain in school. Through this Nutrition Program, WAVE connects food production, school feeding and practical agricultural education to address children’s immediate nutritional needs while equipping communities with  sustainable and resilient food systems for the future.
