These packets have already changed the life of many children who received them.
School feeding is another way to help relieve hunger and poverty. Sheeran has seen that enrollments in school are fifty percent higher when there is school feeding. The most beneficial effect is on the girls. When girls stay in school, they are less likely to get married early. They will also give birth to healthier children. This will keep malnutrition from being passed down to another generation of children.
Lastly, Sheeran mentions the use of digital cards to purchase food from stores. These cards can be swiped to get up to nine items. They must be nutritious and locally produced. In areas where these cards are used, the dairy industry has even gone up by thirty percent. As more people use their cards to acquire food, more people are being hired by shopkeepers, which also keep the food economy
