POWER POINT PRESENTATION ABOUT ACHIEVEMENTS & ONGOING PROJECTS
School Feeding Program
As part of the School Feeding Pro- gram, ORCD Global has signed a contract with Charity Right UK for the implementation of a project entitled: Provision of Food to Vulnerable School Children in Afghanistan
The project is in response to the desperate situation of Afghanistan where 22.8 million are going through a crisis of emergency and low levels of food supply. The project addresses to alleviate the suffering of children who are subject to acute malnutrition.
The project will literally improve school attendance and since the issue of hunger is addressed by school meals, they can learn better in class. Apart from that, more students will enroll at the school as the community becomes aware that school feeding is available there every day. The project will also ensure that students eat a healthy meal every day so their physical contition should improve.
Emergency Food Distribution

The project aims to meet the immediate food and nutritional needs of vulnerable communities. ORCD Global carries out the distribution of food packages. Overall, the project is targeting more than 500 households in Kabul who currently live under the poverty line and those who have lost access to livelihoods due to the recent economic and political upheaval.
