Read the detailWhy these four
They cover the whole calendar and the whole range.
Daily meals handle the ordinary school day, which is most of it. Rations handle the holidays, when the kitchen is shut and the lean season is at its worst. Treatment handles the children for whom a lunch has already come too late. Gardens make all three cheaper. Fund one and you cover part of a child's year; the four together cover the whole of it.
