Only 25% of refugee girls attend school regularly. The RISE digital attendance app links with incentivized school meal programs, supporting attendance and retention for girls. @dfat_iXc @mitlegatum @MITpkg @UN_Women #genderequality #girlsedu #girlsrising #un_women #refugees

The WFP school meals program provides important nutrition and drives refugee school attendance. The RISE platform links attendance to the school kitchen and offers transparency throughout the system. @dfat @dfat_iXc @WFP @mitlegatum @MITpkg @MIT #eiechallenge #worldfoodprogramme
