Some children have the opportunity to stay on a farm in the countryside and are provided with meals there. But the others still need to be fed. In this situation, complying with the government’s guidelines: virtually impossible. Because…

…Teaching children to keep their distance from one another and monitoring compliance is hardly feasible. At the latest after eating, they play very close together again and, in some cases, up to 10 people live in a small corrugated-metal shack in the slums.

…starving children are not an option. Especially since they can only strengthen their immune systems against the virus with sufficient healthy nutrition.

…regular handwashing is mandatory, not just now. Nevertheless, especially now, we pay particular attention to it and monitor it.

We have decided, within the scope of the law, to continue distributing meals when there is a need. If one or more children come to our kitchen, they will be provided with healthy meals.
