About Us
About Us
FoodSharing Kenya is a youth-led community-powered, sustainability-driven organization committed to ending hunger, reducing food waste, and promoting equitable access to nutritious food across Kenya.
We rescue safe, surplus food from farms, supermarkets, restaurants, events, homes, and institutions — then redistribute it directly to students, children, mothers, seniors, and vulnerable families who need it most.
We also operate FoodSharing Booths in universities and colleges, ensuring that no student skips a meal due to financial challenges. Our work combines food security, climate action, and environmental sustainability, creating a zero-waste, zero-hunger future for Kenya.
