Lishe Kwa Mtoto delivers daily nutritious meals to vulnerable school children across Kenya — because a fed child is a child who can learn, grow, and dream.
Founded in 2024 under the Ray of Hope Foundation, Lishe Kwa Mtoto addresses the critical link between hunger and educational outcomes. When children arrive at school hungry, they cannot concentrate, retain information, or thrive.
Our school feeding programs provide daily hot meals to the most vulnerable children in Trans Nzoia, West Pokot, and beyond — tackling hunger, improving attendance, and giving every child the foundation they deserve.

"Before Lishe Kwa Mtoto, my daughter used to skip classes due to hunger. Now she's top of her class in Standard 4. A meal changed everything."

"Our school attendance jumped from 61% to 94% within one term of the feeding program starting. The children come eager to learn."
"I used to skip school when I was hungry. Now I look forward to coming every day. My favourite day is when we have githeri with carrots."
"The ripple effect is remarkable. When children eat, they stay in school. When they stay in school, entire families break out of poverty cycles."
