Food4Education (F4E) is transforming the landscape of school feeding in Kenya through innovation, local ownership, and a sustainable co-investment model. F4E partners with local governments and communities to provide nutritious, low-cost meals to children in public schools, ensuring that no child has to learn on an empty stomach.

Their annual demonstrated impact includes:

Operating in multiple counties across Kenya with over 4,300 jobs created in local communities, over 50% of which are held by parents of children enrolled in the program.

Delivering meals at just $0.28 per plate through climate-friendly cooking technology and efficient logistics, with about 10% of meals provided for free.

Improving childhood nutrition with meals that include a higher protein-to-carb ratio and essential micronutrients like iron, zinc, and calcium, supporting healthy development and better learning outcomes.

Pioneering a scalable and replicable model that combines farm-to-table nutrition with co-funding from parents and local governments, laying the foundation for expansion across Africa.
