Kapu Africa (Midwest Food Bank East Africa) is transforming the fight against hunger by ensuring that food reaches those who need it most—efficiently, sustainably, and with dignity. In a region where an estimated 257 million people face hunger, Kapu Africa operates in some of East Africa’s most vulnerable communities, providing nutritious meals to faith-based schools and nonprofits that serve as lifelines for children and families in extreme poverty.
Unlike traditional food banks, which rely on surplus donations, Kapu Africa navigates the region’s unique challenges of food scarcity. With strong corporate partnerships and a direct-to-distribution model, food donations are collected and delivered on the same day, eliminating storage risks while maximizing impact.
