The Lunch Project

Founded in 2011, The Lunch Project (TLP) is a Charlotte-based 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering communities by supporting school lunch programs in Tanzania, teaching empathy education and inspiring service in all children. How? Internationally, this organization provides students with the fuel to learn while stimulating economies through locally-sourced goods and services. TLP is enabling a community-led, locally sourced lunch program 5 days a week to over 1800 primary school students at two public primary schools in Tanzania, and still growing. Stateside, the goal is global empathy education that provides a highly visual demonstration of the impact individual actions can make around the world.Our empathy outreach has evolved into a research based, integrated education program focused on increasing empathy in American youth.
