Tjingabili primary pupils from the Mangwe District travel several kilometres to attend school in the sweltering heat, taking a toll on them. According to the United Nations Children's Fund 1.7 million children are food insecure in the country.The soaring cases of children fainting at Tjingabili prompted Mguni to establish a small garden in the vicinity of the school.
