Moringa: Improving Health in Local Schools

The Manila Bulletin Publishing Corporation recently released a story discussing new initiatives taken by schools in the Philippines to decrease the malnutrition rates in their youth. The school drop-out rates and failure rates have been believed to be directly correlated to the school’s malnutrition rates. The Department of Education [DepEd] “initiative aims to establish school gardens, school nurseries, and vegetable production centers to provide ready sources of vegetables to complement the supplementary feeding program in schools.”

Last year, the DepEd tried to grow 50 Moringa trees in the 7,000 participating schools nationwide, hoping these plants would bring an end to the malnutrition and drop out rates in their schools. Further, the “DepEd nutritionist-dietitians developed 40 malunggay recipes to be used by school canteens and home economics teachers in menus they would serve in their supplementary feeding program.”
The results from this initiative are yet to be measured, but with the help of the parents, the DepEd may receive some promising results.
