READING:
Indonesia served free breakfast to 570,000 children and pregnant women on Monday. This is because of the "Free Nutritious Meal Programme". More than 190 kitchens cooked the free food. More kitchens will soon spread nationwide. The programme was an election promise of Indonesia's president. He wants to feed a quarter of Indonesians by 2029. He also wants to end malnutrition. A fifth of Indonesia's children under five have poor nutrition.
The president said: "Too many of our brothers and sisters are below the poverty line [and] go to school without breakfast." The mother of an elementary school child said: "Thank God. This really helps us. We normally have to work hard preparing food, but now we don't." The government said: "This is a historic moment. For the first time, our country is conducting a nationwide nutrition program for children, and pregnant and breastfeeding mothers."
