Other Programmes
Some of the programmes that Mafanikio supports include international work camps, a school feeding programme, an education fund and a food security programme.

Feeding Program

The school feeding programme has brought hope to the children in the semi arid areas. It has improved them physically, socially and educationally through good performance in school. The feeding programme has ensured a meal for the children everyday. Currently, the situation in the country has become worse owing to food shortage, famine and drought. The hard hit areas also include Makueni District.

MCBO is feeding 1,005 children in three schools; Utaati, Mitingani and Kiukuni Primary School respectively. This has encouraged many children to attend schools and has lessened burdens to their parents.

High School Fund

This fund educates students who cannot afford post-primary education and a number of students have already completed secondary education with the support of this programme.


Education is the key to reduction of poverty across the globe. It broadens the mind and widens the thinking scope thus providing an opportunity to creativity and initiatives. This fund caters for bright but needy students from poor backgrounds. There are very many students who are not able to pursue secondary education due to lack of school fees. The situation is worse in rural areas. MCBO is currently educating twenty four (24) students in high school and one (1) in the University; nine (9) girls and fifteen (15) boys. These students are drawn from different parts of the country and are under full sponsorship for four years to complete their secondary education.
