Food4Education is an award-winning, African-led nonprofit tackling classroom hunger with a locally rooted, scalable model. Building on more than a decade of learning by doing, we’re powering a new school feeding industry and sharing our blueprint to scale sustainable, nutritious and affordable school feeding programs across Africa. Today, we serve over 600,000 learners daily in Kenya, but what we deliver goes beyond the meal. Each plate improves nutrition, fuels learning, and creates jobs that uplift entire communities. We are an experienced, trusted non-profit partner that operates with the excellence of a global business, reinvesting the value we create into local economies.

Over the past decade, F4E has scaled its reach exponentially, serving 160 million cumulative meals since its inception, and growing from just 25 children fed daily in 2012 to over 600,000 learners receiving meals every single day in 2026. With our presence now spanning 13 counties, we’re delivering daily meals to children in 1,650+ public schools and ECD centers. Parents pay for these meals through a mobile money system linked to NFC wristbands, which their children wear and ‘Tap2Eat’ in under 5 seconds to access their meal.

F4E is growing quickly. Our mission is to scale a model that prioritises efficient supply chain management and sustainable sourcing, so we can continue lowering the cost of school meals. We have served over 150,000,000 meals since 2012 and are expanding to reach 1 million learners in Kenya by 2027 and another 2 million across Africa by 2030.
