Delivering nutritious meals, clean water, and sustainable infrastructure to children and communities in Tanzania, Africa.
Our flagship School Feeding Program is at the heart of everything Nourish Tanzania does. For over a year, we have been providing daily nutritious meals to children at partner schools throughout Tanzania, ensuring that no child has to learn on an empty stomach.
Research consistently shows that school feeding programs dramatically improve attendance, academic performance, and overall child health. In Tanzania, where many families struggle to provide consistent meals, our program serves as a lifeline for hundreds of children.
Meals are prepared fresh daily by our dedicated local staff using ingredients sourced from nearby community markets. Our menus are designed to provide balanced nutrition with local staples including ugali, beans, vegetables, and seasonal fruits.
Access to clean water is a fundamental human right, yet millions of children in Tanzania still lack reliable access to safe drinking water. Water-related illnesses cause countless lost school days and directly impact children's health, academic performance, and overall well-being.
Nourish Tanzania has installed handwashing stations at partner schools and provides clean drinking water to support both our feeding program and children's hygiene. Our stations teach children proper handwashing techniques — a simple practice that can prevent the spread of disease and save lives.
Clean water also supports our kitchen operations, ensuring that meals are prepared in sanitary conditions with safe water for cooking and cleaning.
A reliable, well-equipped kitchen is the foundation of any successful feeding program. Nourish Tanzania is committed to upgrading the kitchen facilities and cooking equipment at our partner schools to ensure meals are prepared safely, efficiently, and at scale.
Our improvements include larger cooking pots, improved stoves, storage facilities for ingredients, and better food preparation areas. These upgrades not only improve food safety but also allow us to serve more children with consistent, quality meals every day.
Investing in kitchen infrastructure is an investment in sustainability — better facilities mean our programs can grow and continue serving children for years to come.
Our programs don't just feed children — they also support the local economy by providing modest but meaningful income to community members.
Our staff prepare fresh, nutritious meals daily using local recipes and ingredients. They bring expertise in Tanzanian cuisine and an understanding of children's nutritional needs.
Our team sources ingredients from local markets, supporting Tanzanian farmers and vendors. This approach keeps our supply chain local and supports the broader community economy.
On-the-ground coordinators manage daily operations, maintain equipment, and serve as the bridge between our Canadian organization and the Tanzanian communities we serve.
Our impact extends beyond meals — we strengthen entire communities through education, employment, and local partnerships.
