The project aimed at increasing the enrollment and retainment of girl students in remote, poor and food-insecure areas in Bhutan. Cooked meals were provided under the project to children in 136 schools on a daily basis. The Fund’s assistance contributed to the construction of 8 hostels in four schools in the three most disadvantaged districts.
