WHO WE ARE
FOOD FOR ALL AFRICA
We are a non-profit organization specialized in fighting hunger and food waste through technology, diversity and innovation.
We create effective programs addressing hunger issues by creating partnerships with those who care about the underprivileged and hungry people in Ghana and sub Saharan Africa
Food for All was founded in 2015 by Chef Elijah Addo to address the widespread hunger and food waste challenges in Ghana; Food for All leverages on mobile technology to connect a world of excess to a world of need by recovering quality edible surplus food from the consumer goods supply chain and distributing it to community organizations that serve the poor and needy. More than 80% of the food recovered is nutritious food.

WHY FOOD WASTE & HUNGER REDUCTION
Each year about 1.3 billion tons of food is wasted and at the same time about 800 million people do not have access to sufficient and nutritious food (Global FoodBanking Network, 2014). This figure represents roughly one third of food produced for human consumption. Food can be either lost or wasted throughout the supply chain, from initial agricultural production down to final household consumption (FAO, 2011).
9.3 Million Ghanaians with 45% in Accra can’t afford more than $0.81 on food daily. The Cost of Hunger report by the National Development Planning Commission in 2016 estimates that Ghana loses GH¢ 4.6 billion which is equivalent to 6.4% GDP at time when 45% of food goes waste along the food supply chain and 24% of all child mortality cases in Ghana are associated with under nutrition.
