Encouraging families to enroll their children in school and gain access to education
In order to give the most destitute children the opportunity to get an education, Children Action finances a number of programmes that promote access to education.
"A meal at school acts as a magnet to get children into the classroom (...) School feeding programmes achieve much more than feeding children."

Since 2001, 16 schools have been built in remote areas of Vietnam. Each year, nearly 1,200 children are enrolled in these schools. Since 2007, 5,156,596 meals and snacks have been served in the school canteens and each year, nearly 8,000 students receive the necessary notebooks for their schooling. 1,034,310 notebooks have been distributed to 74,770 students to date.
In Sri Lanka, 500 school kits for the poorest students have been distributed every year since 2015.
