CSU Partners with DepEd and CMU-PCC for Milk Feeding Program

Pursuant to Republic Act 11037 otherwise known as “Masustansyang Pagkain sa Bawat Pilipino Act” and the National Feeding Program, Caraga State University partnered with the Department of Education and Central Mindanao University- Philippine Carabao Center for a Milk Feeding Program to all of the 19, 853 elementary pupils in Agusan del Norte and Surigao del Norte.

The Caraga State University Resource Generation Management Services team headed by Dr. Tomas M. Austral, Director of the Resource Generation Management Services (ORGMS) worked together with the Philippine Carabao Center (PCC) at Central Mindanao University (CMU) through a signed Memorandum of Agreement to support the Milk Feeding Program in Caraga by being a supplier of pasteurized milk.

The project aims is to provide the beneficiaries (school children) nutritious milk supply for 45 feeding days. As of March 2021, there were about 1,629 pre-school children who were fed the pasteurized milk. This marks 8.2% of the target beneficiaries. The program is envisioned to last until it is needed.

Milk Feeding Service is one of the Core of values of CSU, this project surely ushers to its mission in helping the community, especially the undernourished school children of Caraga region. It would also help the University raise its revenue. ARP/pico
