In Dodoma Region, Tanzania, more than 634,000 children now eat a meal at school each day — a quiet but consequential act that touches attendance, learning, and the long arc of a child's future. School feeding programmes are among the rare interventions that work on several fronts at once, and Dodoma's expanding effort, guided by Regional Commissioner Rosemary Senyamule, reflects a belief that nourishing a child is inseparable from educating one. When a community chooses to feed its children, it is making a wager on itself.
