Fish on the School Menu: NACHA Brings Nutrition Learning to Mogadishu Schools

On 5 and 6 September 2025, Nature Care Horn of Africa (NACHA) served fish meals to 460 students and children in three schools in Garasbaley and Daynile, Mogadishu. Alongside the meals, children and teachers took part in short awareness sessions on why fish is a rich source of protein, omega-3 and vitamins that supports growth, health and learning, and on safe, hygienic ways to handle, cook and eat it.
