Learn to Eat, Eat to Learn
MealEDU provides learning opportunities and meal support for children facing hunger around the world
A Growing Global Hunger Crisis
Hunger is still one of the world’s most pressing challenges.
Hunger is a prolonged lack of food
Leading to malnutrition and even death
An estimated 9 million people die each year from hunger
About 24,000 people die every day from hunger, roughly one every 3.5 seconds (World Food Programme, 2021).
Over 3.1 million children die each year from undernutrition
Among children under five, undernutrition is linked to one child death every 10 seconds (World Food Programme, 2021).
Our approach
Using blockchain technology, we connect patrons with verified learners through partner organizations,
removing barriers, ensuring transparency, and building a platform rooted in trust.
removing barriers, ensuring transparency, and building a platform rooted in trust.
From Hunger to Learner
Rather than passively receiving donations, learners facing food insecurity EARN support through personal achievement.
From Gatekeepers to Bridge
Unlike traditional donation platforms, patrons see the anonymized progress of the learners they support, through partner organizations.
From Bank Wires to Low-Fee Vouchers
Instead of slow, high-fee bank wires, learners earn meal points that redeem for partner food vouchers, supported by transparent on-chain micro-grants with low transaction fees.
