Episode The Unexpected $1,000 That Kept Me Going – Wawira Njiru on Belief, Generosity & Impact
In this episode of The Nitpicker Podcast, Wawira Njiru, a pioneering social entrepreneur and founder of Food For Education, tells of her transformative journey. Beginning in 2010 with a dream to feed 25 children in Ruiru, to building Food 4 Education which now serves 450,000 kids daily in 2024. Wawira discusses the challenges of starting the program while studying in Australia, the innovative use of technology and data to build the groundbreaking Tap2Eat wristband, and the vital role of the community, from parents to government partnerships. Wawira’s story shows the importance of resilience, a robust support system (and safety net) and a vision to make a significant social impact – even when it’s not so clear.This is a must-watch for entrepreneurs, changemakers and anyone passionate about social impact.#FoodForEducation #WawiraNjiru #Tap2Eat #SocialEntrepreneur #TechForGoodCredits:
