The Preselection

Interviews With Our Scholarship Holders 2018

Over 80 groups of students submitted their creative project ideas in this year’s Students4Kids competition to improve the nutrition situation in Uganda – a new record! Accordingly, the jury of renowned experts had a particularly difficult time selecting those entries that would make it into the next phase of the competition to develop a well-founded concept.

After numerous, long discussions, the jury selected eight promising project ideas to fight hidden hunger in Uganda.

We wanted to take a closer look at these projects and sat down with the eight teams of creative and ambitious students that have moved on to the next stage of the competition. During our conversations, we talked about their motivation, their project ideas, and the tremendous impact that hidden hunger has.
