Elijah Amoo Addo

Based in the capital of Ghana, Accra, the organization uses advocacy and a food-sharing mobile phone app to feed thousands of vulnerable children through food recovery and redistribution.

The organization is also working on the national policy level to make it easier for suppliers to donate food and claim tax benefits.

[2][3] Source:[4] Addo's journey as a chef started in Lagos, Nigeria when he took up a job in a restaurant as a kitchen porter to support his education.

One day, in a hurry to go home, he threw out an olive sauce that the head chef had prepared, thinking it was a waste.

This touched the Head Chef, who decided to mentor him and supported him through culinary studies at Sphinx Vocational Training School in Lagos.

[17] In 2017, he was selected as one of change-makers from Africa in the Commonwealth for the Queen's Young Leaders Award[18][19] by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom at Buckingham Palace in recognition of his work towards social development across the Commonwealth, feeding the less privileged[20][21] and reforming Ghana's food distribution system to overcome food waste, hunger, poverty and malnutrition.
