Our nonprofit, (Kid’s Food Program) adopts an integrated and community-centered approach to tackle childhood food insecurity. Instead of relying on a single model, we integrate multiple support systems—after-school meals, weekend family food hubs, and summer feeding—to ensure children have consistent, dignified access to nutritious food all year long.
Our (Kid’s Food Program) mission is to ensure that we work to bridge the meal gap for food-insecure children by delivering supplemental food meals to children in low-income African communities with the goal of eliminating childhood hunger one plate at a time.
The seeds of “Kid's Food Program” were sown not in a boardroom, but at a kitchen table, or rather, a series of empty ones. The journey began with a shared observation and a collective ache: the reality that in a world of abundance, children in our own community were going to bed hungry.
Our Founder & CEO, [Kevin P Mandaza] deeply rooted in community, at the age of 5 years had a famished encounter of intense hunger and food insecurity that crystallized his desire to eventually help feed hungry children,“from empty plates, to full hearts” one plate at a time. These experiences forged a shared conviction: food is not just sustenance; it is dignity, it is health, and it is the essential building block of a child’s future.
This program was started to fill a critical gap, to be a reliable source of support, and to ensure that the immediate, fundamental need for food is met with consistency and care. We believe that hunger is a solvable problem, and it is an unacceptable barrier to a child’s potential.

Childhood hunger and food insecurity in Africa are a severe, widespread, and growing crisis with devastating long-term consequences. The crisis is not a one-off event but a persistent problem with a rising trend, making Africa off-track to meet the Sustainable Development Goal of “Zero Hunger” by 2030.
