Here's how blockchain could stop corrupt officials from stealing school lunches

Children eat at the cafeteria of an Innova school in the outskirts of Lima, July 3, 2012. With 11 schools and nearly 5,000 students, Innova schools have introduced a new concept between horrendous public schools and traditional private schools for the rich that can cost $1,000 a month. It charges between $95 and $150 a month for what they call a cutting-edge curriculum. Intercorp, the financial holding company of No. 4 Peruvian lender Interbank, plans to open 70 Innova schools nationwide over the next ten years, which would make it the biggest chain of its kind in Latin America.
