Best Practices

“FREE FOOD,
LIFE’S GOOD”
 Dampalan Elementary School has long been
practicing a feeding program to all learners
using the SBFP Fund and other sources.

“
Children in this school usually come from
low-income families. Many of them have only
corns on their tables. Many of them are
severely malnourished. As a result, they have
very low school performance.

This initiative is also
supported by Barangay
Officials and parents who

“
are beneficiary of the 4Ps
and IPs and also by the
learners who kept a well
maintained vegetable
garden inside the school
premises.

2
The garden acts as a
support in which the
vegetable harvested
“
from the garden were
used in the feeding
program .

3
The school also
maintains mini

“
Fishpond in which
Tilapias are being
cultured. The
harvested Tilapias are
also used in the
Feeding Program.

implemented, absenteeism and

decreased. Children were more
motivated and encouraged to go school.
