Did you know that for every Mindful Chef<\/a> meal you enjoy, we donate a school meal to a child living in poverty<\/strong>? We are proudly the only recipe box globally pioneering this \u2018one-for-one\u2019 model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back in September 2017, we teamed up with the charity One Feeds Two<\/a> to make this possible, and decided on an ambitious goal – to donate 1 million meals<\/a>. We\u2019re over the moon to tell you that, together, we\u2019ve now reached 6 million meals! That’s the equivalent to feeding 30,000 school children for an entire year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In light of this, we\u2019re setting ourselves a new goal to reach 10 million by the end of this year.<\/strong> Thanks to your help, we\u2019re making feel-good food that has a positive social impact, a reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fuelling education<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s been a year since our founders, Myles and Giles, went to Malawi and met 13-year-old Lexa. The Q&A below shows the life-changing power of these meals, which really are making a difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tell us about Lexa…<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Lexa\u2019s mum is a teacher and it\u2019s her dream to be one, too. She wants to help other children get an education, and she loves learning. She\u2019s especially brilliant at maths and English, and loves to help the others like her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
We had the pleasure of meeting Lexa on our trip to Blantyre, Malawi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What about outside of school? <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not all study! Lexa plays netball with friends and enjoys her reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does One Feed Two help?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The hot meals provided can be life-changing. Even though Lexa\u2019s school is an hour\u2019s walk from home, she told us she gets in early to eat the breakfast provided at school – it gives her the energy and power she needs to study better. This shows the life-changing impact these donations have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Malawi?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This Commonwealth country is one of the poorest in the world. There are 3 million primary school aged children in Malawi, the majority of which rely on their school meal each and every day. Despite the efforts of the school feeding programmes and other funding organisations like One Feeds Two<\/a>, there are still many children in Malawi (and many many more around the world) who still do not have access to a school meal and no other safety nets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
For many children in Malawi, these school meals are their only daily meal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

By working with One Feeds Two<\/a>, we can tackle hunger on the ground. It\u2019s incredible that as we grow, our donations grow – and more and more children like Lexa can benefit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How’s that for some feel-good food?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

We do also work with UK based charities such as The Felix Project<\/a> to donate any surplus food \u2013 plus, we run the Reverse Advent Calendar<\/a> initiative each Winter, to drive food donation in the UK. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
