Fish powder in school meals for better nutrition in Malawi
This study tests whether adding fish powder to school meals improves learning and nutrition in children in Malawi. If your child's school is in one of the selected districts, they may be able to participate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must attend a school that is part of the government or NGO school meals program where the school buys food locally (not a private or hybrid program).
- The school must be located in one of these districts: Mangochi, Salima, Karonga, or Dowa.
- Your child must be at least 10 years old. There is no upper age limit, so older students in primary school can join.
- Your child must not have serious food allergies, intolerances, or health conditions that could affect their eating.
