EACF is making a lasting impact.
Hunger is a barrier to education. Nutrition can carve a path forward.
Severe malnutrition affects almost 30% of children in eastern Kenya, and 1 in 4 children will have stunted growth. With the majority of families in this region living on less than $2 per day, many are forced to choose between buying food or paying school expenses.
EACF knows that school meals can be a crucial safety net.
We envision a future in which schools provide nutritious meals that encourage school attendance and improve school performance.
Here’s What We Do
We support children in coming to school and performing at their best by mobilizing the school community to provide HOME-GROWN NUTRITIOUS MEALS.
By partnering with local women’s groups, school leaders, and other local stakeholders, EACF is building the capacity of schools to provide a daily, healthy meal to all of their students.

Stories of Transformation
“It’s after losing my beloved parents that I found myself living in the streets. Life was difficult there because we were marauding in order to get a piece of bread for the day. I came to Nchiru Children’s Village to begin school life. Many school leaders gave us words of encouragement and taught us the importance of education.”
"My name is Naserian and I come from Marsabit county in northern Kenya. Before I came to Nchiru Children’s Village, my job as a young girl was to look after my uncle’s camels. I spent my days with the camels and finding firewood for cooking. I did not eat the whole day until I returned home in the evening with the firewood and camels."
