“By 2050 it is projected that 1 in 4 people on the planet will be African and many of them are school children today. But children cannot learn, grow, or thrive if they are hungry.” Today is #InternationalDayofEducation and as we spotlight AI and its role in education we must remember that the potential of AI can’t help us unlock the future of our children if we don’t address the basics like feeding children in school. #Feedingthefuture

We are on a mission to make school feeding programs the norm across Africa. By designing a blueprint, putting it into practice, and supporting its replication, we aim to ensure that no child learns on an empty stomach. A big thank you to Cartier for the special feature!

We had an unforgettable time at #GCNForum2024, hosted by the Global Child Nutrition Foundation in Osaka, Japan! So, what were we up to? We led an exciting workshop on optimizing operational efficiencies in school feeding programs coordinated by our very own Shalom N., Nicola Okero and Imelda Oduori Our Founder & CEO Wawira Njiru took the stage on a panel to highlight how innovation is key to advancing child nutrition goals. We connected with amazing stakeholders curious about our approach to #FeedingTheFuture and our bold new Pan-African strategy. Together, we’re transforming food systems to fuel every child with nutritious meals and limitless possibilities. Check out some highlights from our time in Osaka—it’s been an incredible journey!
