About Us

WHAT IS TAFFED?

Welcome to Tanzania Food For Education (TAFFED). We are a registered non-profit NGO, operating in accordance with its governing Constitution and Laws of Tanzania.

Since March 2019, we have been working on programmes focused on nourishment of children attending public schools in the Kigamboni district.

We currently provide > 30,000 meals every month with a 5 year goal of providing > 100,000 meals a month.

At TAFFED, we have set out to create sustainable programs that work towards ensuring every child has access to nutritious food in their schools, enabling them to maximize their educational potential and allowing them to use education as a tool to rise out of poverty.

How Does it Work?

THE PROBLEM

A CHILD CANNOT LEARN
ON AN EMPTY STOMACH

POOR NUTRITION

Numerous studies have shown that nutritional status directly affects the mental capacity among school-aged children. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and hence our current focus is to provide nutritional porridge every morning to children at public schools.

POVERTY

Tanzania has made great strides in reducing poverty from a high of 34.4% in 2007 to just 26.4% in 2018. However, with a population of almost 55 million people in the country, the 26.4% figure still means that 14 million people still live below the National Poverty line of less than USD 0.71 per adult per day.
