“I believe nobody should go to sleep hungry. To me, food and education are the foundation for stronger communities. I’ve seen firsthand, while spending time with families in Tanzania, how much love and gratitude can exist even in the hardest circumstances. Their strength and unconditional kindness inspired me to start this project, so that children can go to bed with full bellies and single mothers can have the chance to learn new skills, grow, and build brighter futures.”
