MAROUF ADEYEMI e.V.
Food is thrown away in the same streets where meals are skipped.
This is a distribution problem before it is a scarcity problem. The food exists, the need exists, and what is missing between them is logistics and a few rules.
Move what already exists.
Collection, storage, transport and handover are unglamorous and they are the whole job. We also work on the rules and habits that make throwing food away the easier option for a business.
Six lines of work.
Direct support
- Collecting surplus food
- Redistribution to households and institutions
- Food vouchers where goods are not practical
Structural work
- Community kitchens
- Water points and community infrastructure in Benin
- Policy work on food waste rules
The rules we work by.
Partners are named when signed
This work only functions through the organisations already doing it. We are building those relationships and will name partners here once agreements exist, not before.
Meals that reached someone
When we report on this work, we will report what reached a person rather than the weight collected.
Fund it, join it, or open a door for it.
Write the programme name in the reference line of a transfer and the money is used for this programme only. If you can offer time, goods or an introduction instead, that is often worth more.
