Mopani Copper Mines PLC has continued to support over 300 school children through a robust feeding programme aimed at improving school attendance and nutrition in children from vulnerable homes.
The school feeding programme has been running since 2018 at Wynter Muleya school in Mufulira’s Kankoyo township, and is supported by Mopani Copper Mines PLC through the provision of a monthly grant to the school for purchasing and preparing balanced-diet meals for the learners.
The CSR Network Zambia – a non-profit organisation fostering responsible business practices – in February 2022 awarded Mopani with the “Excellence in Literacy Support Award in School Support Programme” in recognition of the effectiveness of the school feeding programme.
