It’s 13:00 on the main faculty in Konioudou, a village within the rural commune of Kombissiri, about 40 km outdoors the capital Ouagadougou, and it’s time for the pupils’ noon break. Within the shade of the courtyard’s massive timber, some are taking part in, teasing one another, laughing; a couple of others are leafing by books. However all are ready for one factor: lunchtime.

On the headmistress’ sign, the youngsters line up on the entrance of their lessons. Inside, a canteen employee serves meals on plastic dishes. Then the pupils enter the room, in small teams, to take their very own plates. What’s on the menu at present? A millet porridge enriched with monkey bread, peanut powder, and sugar. Subsequent time, it might be couscous, rice, beans, cowpea salad, or different meals based mostly on native produce.
