About TABLE FOR TWO
In a world population of seven billion, one billion people are suffering from hunger and poverty, while two billion people are suffering fromobesity and other health issues – related to unhealthy eating. In order to eliminate this food imbalance, TABLE FOR TWO (TFT) began in Japan asa social project aimed at simultaneously improving the health of people in both developing and developed countries.
TFT partners with corporations, schools, restaurants and consumer product companies, designating a healthy, slightly low calorie “TFT Meal”. For
every “TFT Meal” sold, $0.25 is donated to provide one school meal in areas of need throughout the world. By expanding TFT at home andabroad, we’ll help to eliminate world hunger, malnutrition, obesity, and lifestyle-related diseases.

2How TABLE FOR TWO Program works
Our innovative “Meal Sharing” program tackles obesity and hunger at the same time. We partner with corporations andorganizations to provide healthier options in cafeterias, restaurants, food trucks, and vending machines. $.25 from the proceeds
will be donated to provide school meals in areas of need throughout the world. We support schools in East Africa, Southeast Asia
as well as low income communities in the United States.

School Meal Program
By having a TFT healthy menu item in a developed country, a participant helps to provide a warm school meal in African or Asian countries.
In African and Asian countries, school meals are important for children. They are not only helping children to maintain good health, but also
helping them to start school. Satisfied children will be able to focus more on their classes.
Furthermore, running the school meals program has been helping adults realize the importance of education and nutrition in the local
community.

We asked her, “what the most important
thing for her?”“All of my children are in primaryschool and eat lunch provided. I am
happy none of my children haveever suffered malnutrition.”“Education. It helps me toimprove my life. I will continue
my study and would like tobecome a pilot when I grow up.”

When Chantal gave birth to Blade, she could notafford health care, food and could not breast-feed.
A health care worker noticed that Blade wassuffering from severe malnutrition. They had
Chantal bring Blade to a feeding program. It took
a whole year until she got well.

Students, Rusinga Island, Kenya“My father has been drinking a lot
after he lost his job. He has becomeharsh and does not bring any foodhome. Mother struggles to provide
food for all five of us. I am happy
that three of us are able to get very
good meal every school day when
we come to school. (Boy, 4th grade)
I am always happy to be in school
because I play with my friends andget a good meal everyday. I am nothappy when weekends comebecause I miss the nice lunch I am
served in school. (girl, 2nd grade)© Levi Jackman“This year Blade was admitted to a
Nursery school. My wish for her is to
study further and specialize inforestry, because all my neighbours
who work in Nyungwe National Park
have the best living situations.”
