At Food for Education, we believe that no child should learn while hungry. We are executing a radical plan to create Africa's first viable, sustainable path to feed the continent's 200 million public school children. Starting by feeding 1 million kids in Kenya, we are creating the blueprint for all 200 million children in Africa to receive a daily hot, nutritious, affordable meal. Our tech-driven model-designed by Africans for Africa-boosts markets by sourcing from local farmers, leverages economies of scale in production and distribution, and unlocks the potential of millions of children. Hunger is one of the biggest-yet most solvable-challenges African children face. Despite Africa's economic growth, 90% of children on the continent don't benefit from a minimum acceptable diet, with lifelong effects on their well-being and development.Kenya, where 43% of the population is of primary school-age, is at risk of leaving its youngest learners behind because of a solvable issue: lack of food. Families consistently struggle to feed their children: over half of the population is food insecure and 1 in every 4 children under 5 is stunted, which hinders learning and children's future potential. Hungry children do not have the strength, attention span, or interest to learn, posing serious consequences to their physical, socio-emotional, and cognitive development. These issues are exacerbated in urban and peri-urban communities, where inflation and high living costs make food one of Kenya's most urgent humanitarian needs. The Covid-19 pandemic has exacerbated already dire food insecurity situations of many vulnerable Kenyans, particularly for women and girls. In Kenya, where year-on-year food inflation has increased by 27% means that some of the poorest families spend up to 58% of their income on food budget, pushing nutritious food out of reach for millions of Kenyan families. Further, the macroeconomic shocks induced by the Ukraine crisis has led to unavoidable increments in food costs, with food prices increasing by up to 70% over the past five months. Now, a Food for Education meal may be the only healthy, hot meal many children eat in a day. Our objective is to tackle this vast, unmet need for food by leveraging the demonstrated effectiveness of school feeding programs as a critical and urgently needed social safety net. We provide hot, nutritious, subsidised school meals to some of the poorest children in Kenya: parents only pay $0.15/meal via mobile money and primary school students with our NFC smartwatches connected to a virtual wallet 'tap to eat' in under 5 seconds. We currently feed 50,000 children daily and we are on track to serve 100,000 children in urban and peri-urban communities by the end of June 2023. We utilise an innovative hub-and-spoke system where meals are prepared in central kitchens (hub) and distributed through systematised logistics to a network of schools (spoke). Further, by engaging contract farmers and using a centralised sourcing structure, we are able to lock in prices up to 30% lower than market prices for our core ingredients, thus bringing down our operational costs. By providing a balanced diet every school day to 50,000 children in public primary schools across Kenya, Food for Education is pioneering a solution to combat growing classroom hunger. With most of the children we serve coming from low-income households earning less than $2 a day, our program is their surety of food security.

At ISA, we believe in the potential of the largest ever young generation. When young people have the motivation, the skills and the opportunities they will be able to make the change they want to see in their lives and in the places they live, study and work. Our programmes do exactly that. Why is this needed? Young people in the underserved communities we work, often lack safe spaces where they can team-up, there is a limited supply of positive activities to engage in, and there are few opportunities for young people to attain quality education or income opportunities. Together with community organisations, (youth) coaches and mentors, we're turning tables and by providing opportunities for young people to make a future for themselves and that of the entire community.
