Milky Bee Africa Initiative
A new and exciting initiative designed to merge education and nutrition in one special package recognizing that healthy children perform better in both academic and physical activities.
The Bee is about promotion of education
and the Milky part is about promotion of
good nutrition in school.
Education and Good Nutrition for Our Kids
Nutrition, Health and Education are three essential pillars of development in any Country. Article 53 of the Kenyan constitution states that every child has the right to:
- Free and compulsory basic education;
- Basic nutrition, shelter and health care;
We Address Both Education and Nutrition
The primary role of the Milky Bee is to promote a reading culture among pupils and to help them improve their spelling, increase their vocabularies, learn concepts, and develop proper English usage while at the same time promoting milk as a nutritional boost to keep the children healthy, helping them to concentrate and learn.
But Why Milk?
Providing milk in schools can contribute greatly to improving the nutritional status of school-going children. Milk is a good source of high-quality protein and an excellent source of calcium.
Milk is a good source of high-quality protein and an excellent source of calcium. A glass of milk will provide 9% of energy requirements, 30% carbohydrates, 42% of protein, 35% calcium, 35% vitamin D, 24% vitamin A and 60% fat of the nutritional requirements of children.
A glass of milk will provide the following nutritional requirements for children.
Milky Bee Format
The Milky Bee has an exciting learning formular that will merge several exciting word games, challenges, and concepts that are grade based including:
- Spelling Bee – You Spell the word
