FoodSharing Kenya is a non profit, youth-led, community-powered organization leading food rescue in Kenya and promoting food sharing in Kenya to reduce food waste and fight hunger.
We rescue safe, surplus food from farms, supermarkets, restaurants, markets, and events, and redistribute it to vulnerable communities including students, children, and low-income families.
Our work goes beyond feeding people. We contribute to climate action by reducing food waste in landfills, support zero poverty by improving access to food, and promote responsible consumption and production through sustainable food systems.
Through initiatives like FoodSharing Booths in universities, we are building a future where no food goes to waste and no one goes hungry.
One meal can change everything
In many underserved communities in Kenya, many children go an entire day without a proper meal.
When we arrive with food, everything changes.
Smiles return. Energy comes back. Hope is restored.
For some, this is the only full meal they will have that day.
This is more than food.
It’s dignity. It’s care. It’s a second chance.
And you can be part of it.
We collect and redistibute safe, surplus food from farms, markets, supermarkets, restaurants, events, and households — preventing edible food from going to waste
Providing nutritious meals to children in school in informal settlements. We also provide meals to university students through university food sharing booths.
We promote zero food waste by rescuing surplus food and redistributing it to communities in need instead of letting it go to landfills.
Whether you donate food, give funds, or give time you can help feed a child today
Together, we can end hunger
Every contribution makes an immediate impact.
At FoodSharing Kenya, our values guide every rescue, every partnership, and every meal shared. They shape how we serve communities, work with donors, and build a movement that is rooted in dignity, trust, and action.
We serve people with respect, compassion, and humanity.
We believe food waste and hunger require practical solutions, not talk only.
We protect the environment by rescuing safe surplus food and reducing waste.
Clear reporting, responsible distribution, and accountability at every stage.
We use simple, low-cost innovations—booths, fridges, SMS alerts—to increase reach and impact.
We believe stronger communities are built when people share, support, and act together.
We collaborate with organizations and individuals who believe in a hunger-free future.
