ShareTheMeal

Seed Round in 2014
ShareTheMeal is a charitable app developed by the United Nations World Food Programme to combat child hunger in impoverished regions and war-affected areas. The app allows users to donate meals, with the option to provide a meal for a child for just 50 cents or to sustain a child for a month with a $15 contribution. Users can choose the specific regions their donations will support, including areas such as Syria and Haiti. In addition to making donations, the app encourages users to raise awareness by sharing photos of their meals on social media. Since its inception, ShareTheMeal has facilitated the donation of over 18 million meals, providing a simple and effective way for individuals to contribute to the fight against hunger. The app is free and accessible on both iOS and Android platforms.
