(Best of Series) Ten Million Meals Isn't Enough

In 2022, Food4Education served its 10 millionth meal. Since we first aired this episode in January - they have passed the 15 million mark! Wawira Njiru, the Founder and Executive Director of Food4Education joins us to share the journey and incredible impact that the organization has had in Kenya since they began their work a decade ago. Wawira and Lilly discuss how to tell dignified stories about poverty, carrying forward the legacy of committed (and shoeless) parents and the importance of grassroots organizations that provide internal solutions for internal problems - especially in the midst of the worst drought Kenya has ever experienced.
