<div><strong>Feed hungry children in Tanzania for just $0.04 per meal!</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>November 2025 Update: </strong>
</div>
<div>Total enrollment: 1,400 children
</div>
<div>Cost to feed all 1,400 children for one day: $56
</div>
<div>Cost to feed one child for an entire school year: $7.14
</div>
<div>Meals served to date: 593,753
</div>

</div>
<div>In December 2022, I visited the Losirwa Primary School near the village of Mto wa Mbu in northern Tanzania.
</div>

</div>
<div>This school, founded in 2008, served 850 children from surrounding Masai villages. Without it, these children would receive little (if any) education. Although children walk up to 5km each way to school, and although the school meets for 8 hours a day and teaches the 7 essential subjects (including both Swahili and English), it does not provide any food for the children. This was, unsurprisingly, adversely affecting attendance and performance.

</div>
<div>Mary, the Head of School (shown in black in the photo below), said that their greatest need - by far - was to feed the children.
</div>

<div><br />
</div>
<div>In February 2023, I led a group back to Tanzania and back to this school. Our goal was to feed the children by purchasing local ingredients and delivering them to Losiwra. We purchased ingredients directly from farmers at the Arusha Farmers' Market. We personally delivered the ingredients to the school where they were used to prepare a traditional Masai meal in the kitchen shown below:

<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our original budget for one meal (including transportation and labor costs) is $400, or $0.47 per child.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/70232023_1672704049648790_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Because of the strong response we received, we've been able to ramp up our operation by pre-purchasing large bulk orders directly from farmers. This lowered our costs substantially.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In response to our efforts, enrollment increased to 1,000, the maximum the school could serve. In response, a second school was opened (named the Lucas Minha Primary School, after our local contact who helps with this effort). Total enrollment now tops 1,400 students between the two schools.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This led us to increase our bulk purchasing and delivery. We have now lowered the cost of a meal to just $0.04! That is the cost of a freshly prepared traditional Maasai hot lunch. We have been able to provide every child lunch every school day since 2023. providing over 400,000 meals to date.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every bit of your donation will be used to purchase and deliver food for the kids. No a single cent will go to anything else.
</div>

<div><strong>Let's feed some hungry children!</strong>
