Field Officer

Solid'Africa

Solid’Africa is a Rwandan social enterprise founded in 2010 whose primary goal is to provide meals to low-income patients in public hospitals as food is not covered by public health insurance. We currently feed 1235 patients every day with three medically-tailored meals. The distribution of food on such a large scale is made possible through our farm to fork approach:

  • Farm 84% of the produce we need on land awarded by the government.
  • Design medically-tailored meals with nutritionists and cook meals in our industrial kitchen. 
  • Distribute food directly to patients in 8 public hospitals in Kigali.
  • Food waste from the kitchen and leftovers from hospitals are used on our farms to grow organic produce.
