Feeding the Future
New Impact Partner
Food4Education is a strong fit with FCF’s Nutrition & Food Systems Incubator, combining child nutrition and education with an African-led, locally rooted and highly scalable model. Its approach also connects school feeding with local agriculture, jobs, technology and increasingly climate-smart food systems
VISION
“A world where no child has to learn on an empty stomach.”
WHY? Because hungry kids can’t learn or grow.
For millions of children, a lack of reliable, nutritious food directly affects their ability to attend school, concentrate and learn. In Kenya, around 60% of children do not receive adequate nutrition. Food4Education addresses this at school level, turning a daily meal into a foundation for better learning, health and opportunity.
HOW? By making nutritious school meals affordable and scalable.
Food4Education manages the entire journey from field to fork, sourcing food from local farmers and bringing together storage, efficient kitchens, logistics and meal delivery. Its Tap2Eat technology enables cashless payments and real-time meal verification, while parents and governments help co-finance meals. Local sourcing and community-based jobs keep much of the value within the communities it serves.
WHAT? A blueprint for school feeding at scale
Food4Education has built a proven model that now reaches 600’000+ learners across nearly 1’700 schools in 13 Kenyan counties. Beyond meals, it connects local farmers, jobs, technology and growing government co-financing into one locally rooted system. The ambition is to reach one million learners daily in Kenya by 2027 and support replication of the model across Africa.
We are delighted to welcome One Acre Fund as a new FCF Impact Partner and look forward to to working together.
