About ECF
Our Mission
Every Child Fed is dedicated to ending preventable child deaths caused by severe malnutrition through community-based treatment and prevention.
Every Child Fed (ECF) combines a heartfelt passion for the lives of children with a strategic focus on partnerships with local communities and a commitment to sustainable business principles to achieve meaningful results. ECF was founded in 2011 by a group of individuals from business, international development, and professional athletics who had the desire to have a positive impact on the world. We agreed that children dying of starvation was a tragedy we wanted to address using our unique combination of skills and experience. As we expand treatment and prevention of severe acute malnutrition, we support community development and national infrastructure required for systemic change and lasting impact.
*Every Child Fed is a U.S. based 501(c)3 organization funded by donations and grants. For more information, contact us here.
Our Team
Every Child Fed’s approach is distinctly collaborative. We operate through in-country partners supported by a volunteer team in the US.
Strategic partners are an integral part of our team. We work with distinguished non-profit organizations in direct service delivery, as well as individuals, foundations, and companies that make our work possible.
