Vision

A prosperous Africa — for everyone on it

Well-being is not a privilege. Families eat with dignity, leaders decide with integrity, and communities build economies they own.

Mission

Feed. Educate. Empower.

Capital and institutional pathways empower programmes — policy and tenders become daily meals and verifiable projects.

UN SOFI · How this pillar answers

Challenge: Public nutrition mandates and DFI capital need delivery partners who can hold complexity. Hunger and school feeding are policy problems until they become plated outcomes.

Our response: Open government, institutional and development-finance pathways with Group delivery capacity attached — e.g. NSNP ambition under DBE.

SCHOOL NUTRITION AMBITION

Policy becomes projects. Projects become outcomes.

We are planning to feed 2.5 million children a day (plan) through the NSNP for the DBE — institutional access that turns public nutrition mandates into daily meals.

Ambition — not a delivered claim yet

Big Five is planning to feed 2.5 million children a day with fortified nutrition on the National School Nutrition Programme (NSNP) for the Department of Basic Education (DBE). That is our institutional scale ambition for school-day feeding — Access helps open the government and programme pathways that make delivery possible.
