Save Food, Feed Orphans

Almost US $1 trillion of food, which is roughly one-third of the world’s food, is lost or wasted every year. Along with poverty, conflict, and a lack of resources, food waste is one of the root causes of hunger worldwide. We believe that this wasted food is food that could feed hungry, growing children. We have partnered with several high-end restaurants in Kinshasa that are interested in distributing their food waste to one of our orphanage partners. “Food waste” may include: • “ugly”, bruised or misshapen fruits and vegetables that are not used by restaurant chefs; • foods that are nearly (but not yet) expired; • left-over food that is edible and safe to consume but for any reason is going to be thrown out. We believe this initiative can be a quick and inexpensive way to get food to orphanages.
