It Starts With a Meal®
EDUCATION STARTS WITH A MEAL
We launched our It Starts With a Meal™ movement to share that the journey toward self-reliance and bright futures begins with a single nutritious meal. Our work starts with a meal — but it doesn’t end there. We’re sharing stories of impact in Kenya through the Feed for Knowledge project led by Rise Against Hunger and Rural Family Hope to improve access to nutrition, quality education, clean water and agriculture training that helps to ensure long-term food security for communities in Kenya.
RECOVERY STARTS WITH A MEAL
In early 2022, Ukraine faced a refugee crisis due to ongoing conflict. In response to the crisis, we provided thousands of nourishing meal kits and supplies to those affected and displaced from their homes in collaboration with Rise Against Hunger Italia and other global partners. Meal kits contained pulses, grains, pasta, oil, dried fruit, canned goods, fruit juice, pre-packaged snacks, and baby food.
OPPORTUNITY STARTS WITH A MEAL
Michael, age 42, is a rice farmer living with his wife and two children in Malawi’s Karonga district, a participant of in the Harvesting Prosperity and Resilience project, implemented in Malawi through a partnership with Rise Against Hunger and FOCUS. The project works to enhance the food and nutrition security of smallholder farmers in Malawi’s Karonga and Mzimba districts by improving food production, nutrition practices and incomes. With five kilograms of rice seed that he received through the project, Michael harvested 2,000 kilograms of rice and was then able to sell some of his harvests, earning the equivalent of $583. He plans to cultivate more land this year to increase his harvest even more. With dreams of being a role model in his village, he believes that his increased rice crop will enable that dream to become a reality.
Plant Seeds of Hope for Families in Kenya
In Southwestern Kenya, Rise Against Hunger partners with Rural Family Hope on the Feed for Knowledge project to improve access to nutrition, quality education, clean water and agricultural training to ensure long-term food security for communities in Kenya and across the globe.
