Giving Circles

A select group of inspired donors committed to ending classroom hunger in Africa

Giving Circles are a wonderful way to stay invested and connected with Food4Education and the children and communities we serve.

We're now feeding over 600,000 children every day

Thanks to our centralized kitchen model, our burgeoning government partnerships, and deeply supportive philanthropists, we now feed over 600,000 children a hot nutritious meals every day.

And yet still, our work is far from done.

And we need our village to help.

We invite you to join the Founders’ Circle or Nourishment Circle – vital groups of F4E supporters giving $1,000+/year or more each year.

With your support, we can reach our goal of serving 1 million children each day, and even sooner replicate what we do in other countries across Africa. We already plan to bring our model to two other countries by 2030. We are more than half way there!

Our support for F4E was immediate. With strife and hatred so much present in the world, we feel that feeding children and building community ought to be a priority for all of us. We are proud to play a small part in the work of F4E.

Given that one in our people on earth will be from Africa in only 25 years, I don't believe there is a more important investment these days.

For me philanthropy isn’t about getting your name on a wall.

Anonymous Founders' Circle Member

I invest in Food4Education because I'm confident in its sustainability over time - between philanthropy, government investment and parents, I'm not alone as a funder.
