Part one of this series coincides with International Day of the
Girl Child, which focuses on the need to address the particular
challenges girls face, as well as promoting girls’ empowerment and
the fulfilment of their human rights.
In this episode I spoke with Neera Sharma, the School Meals
Programme Manager from WFP Nepal. We discussed WFP's work and
initiatives that support children, including those positively
impacting young girls and women. For example, the school meals
program she manages helps serve meals to 250,000 girls and boys
living in food insecure districts throughout Nepal. Neera’s team is
driven by Zero Hunger targets that include ensuring access by all
people, especially infants, poor and vulnerable people, to safe,
nutritious and sufficient food all year round.
