In the heart of the Savannah region, at the Damongo Community Centre, a significant workshop took place on Wednesday, August 20, 2025. The event was part of the Ghana School feeding programme, aimed at enlightening newly selected caterers on how to plan and prepare well-balanced diets for school-going children in kindergarten, nursery, and primary schools. This programme, implemented by the government, sought to aid pupils in learning with full attention, acknowledging the difficulty of learning while hungry.
Caterers from across the Savannah region were invited to the conference, including those from Bole, Sawla-Tuna-Kalba, Buipe, Yapei-Kawsawgu, Kpembe, and others from Damongo. The programme was led by Hajia Fati Forgor, the National Coordinator for the Ghana School feeding programme, alongside the Regional Coordinator, Hajia Hafsah Bawa Doshie, and other executives.
Speaking at the conference, the National Coordinator for the Ghana School Feeding Programme Hajia Fati Forgor emphasized the importance of patience and teamwork among the caterers. She urged them to work diligently to impress the president and assured that she would continually seek aid for the further development of the programme. Hajia Fati Forgor also spoke against conflicts, rumors, and undesirable attitudes among members of the school feeding programme. She pleaded with the caterers to work hard to provide school children with the right and well-prepared diets to aid healthy learning in schools. She assured that this would lead to brighter future leaders and healthy, well-fed school-going children.
Hajia Hafsah Bawa Doshie, the Savannah regional coordinator, finalized the workshop by urging all the caterers across the region to prepare food for the pupils in the same manner as they cook in their own houses.
