ONE IN FOUR CHILDREN
GO TO BED HUNGRY
Together, we can change that.
A hungry child can not thrive.
For 181 million children, hunger robs them of the chance to live up to their full God-given potential.
Jesus fed the 5,000 with 2 fish and 5 loaves. He was the perfect model of compassion and efficiency.
At Outside the Bowl, we strive to follow His example.
We focus on 2 hunger solutions:
Vitakidz Instant Meal
Hot Meals in Super Kitchens
“We used to be able to just feed 200 kids per week, but now we can feed up to 5,000 children a day.”
Johann Meiring, Touch Me Lord Ministries, South Africa.
CREATIVE
Vitakidz is a vitamin fortified, instant corn-soy blend that is shelf stable and easily transportable. It is an ideal solution for moderate acute malnutrition, and available in chocolate, banana, strawberry, or regular flavor.
EFFICIENT
Vitakidz is instant.
Just add water. No heating required.
And one meal costs only 25 cents to make and deliver.
RESPONSIBLE
Vitakidz is produced in our factory in Paarl, South Africa. By using locally sourced ingredients and local labor, we can provide jobs and resources for a holistic solution to alleviating poverty.
STRATEGIC
Kitchens are built in areas of high food child poverty: Haiti and 3 border cities of Mexico (Tijuana, Mexicali, Juarez). We can serve the most amount of children in the smallest radius.
SUSTAINABLE
With the help of local government, school, and factory contracts, kitchens can greatly offset meal costs so that every donated dollar can produce more meals.
COST-EFFECTIVE
With industrial size kettles and fresh ingredients purchased in bulk, we are able to produce nutritious meals at a fraction of the cost that a ministry could do itself.
We're committed to making a real lasting impact.
Look what we've already accomplished together!
