Meals committed

$1 = 20 meals

That is the whole mechanism: one dollar, twenty meals, through Rise Against Hunger, and 100% of every public gift to programs. No invented totals. The count below appears the day a partner receipt is entered in our meals ledger, and not before.

We can end hunger together

How your support becomes a meal.

Donate · Partner · Volunteer

You give.

One time or monthly, through Stripe. Every dollar of a public gift goes to programs; the Foundation covers its own costs.

Through Rise Against Hunger

We deploy.

Volunteers pack the meals. The boxes travel to school feeding programs and to communities facing the highest food insecurity.

Tonight, not someday

Families eat.

Children carry the rice home and families eat that night. A child who eats can learn, and a child who learns becomes the next giver.

The Gathering · our monthly giving circle

Feed someone. Every single month.

Monthly givers let us promise a school a full term of meals. Cancel anytime. Every dollar goes further when it shows up every month.

Meet the team behind the promise

Two people. One promise.

"This Foundation is a promise I made to my late father, and to every widow, every child, every family he set out to help."

My father, Claver Buzizi, started a quiet project in his village of Bisesero after the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi: helping widows and children with food, school fees and a way to earn. Kaneza Divine oversees the Foundation's financial controls, reporting and grant disbursement, so that 100% of restricted gifts reach their program. The Foundation takes my father's promise global.

Skills that outlast a meal

The same coaching and Earning Blueprints curriculum Claude used to leave 13-hour factory shifts, placed in the hands of the people we feed.

The next meal starts with you. Give monthly, give once, or give your time.

One short letter when something real happens in the field, and when the cup and the cap open. No schedule, no selling.
