No child should have to learn on an empty stomach. At Mathare Community Outreach (MCO), we believe that access to nutritious food is a basic right and a foundation for a brighter future. That’s why we run a Feeding Program to ensure that orphans and vulnerable children in our care not only survive, but thrive.
In the informal settlements of Nairobi, food insecurity is a daily struggle for many families. Without proper nutrition, children face stunted growth, poor health, and difficulty concentrating in school. Our Feeding Program bridges this gap by providing regular meals that support children’s physical growth, academic performance, and emotional well-being.
The program currently serves:
For many, these meals are the most reliable source of nutrition they receive in a day—restoring hope and dignity to children who would otherwise go hungry.
The Feeding Program is more than just meals—it is part of our holistic approach to child care. By combining food support with education, shelter, counseling, and discipleship, we are raising strong, healthy, and confident children who are prepared to pursue their dreams.
Keeping this program running requires constant support. The need for food supplies is ongoing: maize, beans, rice, vegetables, cooking oil, porridge flour, and sugar are always in demand.
