The Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNGA, 1989) clearly spells out the significance of early child development (ECD). Through a descriptive comparative study, and by randomized control trial, the researcher investigates if free school feeding programs affect children enrollment at ECD centers in rural communities taking the case of Maraba Sector of Huye District in Rwanda. Also, the researcher sought to find if this also helped increase the popularity of the intervention. The researcher obtained data from 127 participants' representative of the 6 Cells in the Sector where 65 were composed of the experimental group and 62 comprised the control group. The study found noteworthy popularity (98%) indicating high impact amongst the beneficiaries but abysmal at below the accepted level of 60% with the control group. Over 90% beneficiaries agreed positive high impact on enrolment while same proportion in control group also supported the fact free school feeding positively impacts children enrolment at the ECD centers. The study recommended amongst others that free school feeding program should be maintained in order to keep improving children enrollments at the ECD centers in the communities and so as to also maintain or possibly improve the popularity of the intervention in the communities.
