How We Got Started
In our world of 6 billion, 1 billion in the developing world are suffering from hunger and malnutrition; every 5 seconds, one child under 5 years of age dies due to one of these causes. At the same time, however, another 1 billion, this time in the developed world, suffer from obesity and other lifestyle-related diseases - the detrimental consequences of having too much food. TABLE FOR TWO was created in order to address this grave imbalance.
TABLE FOR TWO aims to promote health in both developing and developed nations. By providing school meals in the developing world, not only is the nutrition of deprived children improved, but a wider set of positive impacts can be seen across society. Knowing that their children are guaranteed a meal each day, parents are motivated to enroll, and keep, their children in school, whilst children are given the energy to study and improve their academic performance, resulting in further positive effects in later life. In the developed world, TABLE FOR TWO encourages the provision of nutritionally-balanced and low-calorie healthy meals, tailored to meet our Health Guidelines, in an effort to tackle the causes of obesity and metabolic syndrome.
