Beast Philanthropy and Rockefeller Foundation Partner for School Meals

Executive Signal Summary

Beast Philanthropy and The Rockefeller Foundation announced their first projects under a strategic partnership to establish community-led, regenerative school meal (RSM) programs in Ghana and Kenya. The initiative aims to provide approximately 4,000 children with daily school lunches over five years, sourced from local farmers using regenerative agricultural practices. The partnership combines Beast Philanthropy's storytelling reach and school-building efforts with Rockefeller's expertise in food systems and nutrition. In Ghana, the program will support ten schools across nine communities, integrating intercropping techniques for food production. In Kenya, the program will establish school gardens and deploy solar-powered clean-cooking infrastructure in three schools. The partnership builds on Rockefeller's prior $6.75 million commitment to school meal programs in both countries.
