International Fund for Africa (IFA) - Ethiopian School Lunch Fundraiser

A percentage of our sales will go towards benefitting this international fundraising initiative to support vegan lunches in Ethiopian schools.

Current food availability in many Ethiopian schools is sporadic and inadequate. Many children go without food and teachers even give some of their own limited pay to help.

A Well-Fed World's partnership with IFA is developing a vegetable garden and building bakeries to increase onsite food availability, and to generate income for long-term supplementation and self-sustainability.

Fortunately, because of Ethiopia’s large Orthodox population (who have long and dispersed periods of ‘vegan’ fasting), schools sometimes default to serving vegan food year-round, so no special permissions or procedures for vegan school lunches are required.

Seble Nebiyeloul, IFA’s Co-Founder and Country Director, is spearheading development of their School Health and Nutrition Program.
