The Problem
Childhood hunger is one of the most urgent, yet most solvable issues facing children in Africa.
There are over 500 million children in Africa but only 27% of these have access to school meals. In Kenya, 1 in 4 children is stunted due to poor nutrition.
These issues are magnified in urban and peri- urban areas, where inflation and high living costs make food one of Kenya’s most urgent humanitarian needs.
The Solution
We are creating a model of excellence for school feeding that can be replicated across Africa. We aim to bridge the nutrition and education gap for millions of children using an inter-sectoral approach that brings together communities and local and national governments to develop and implement high impact and innovative school feeding solutions at scale.
