Romy Foods’ first initiative as part of its CSR philosophy, the Global Food Program: A Meal for a Meal was launched on Monday 6 June 2016.  In collaboration with the leading NGO SOS Malta the company is supporting 2,000 daily meals to children attending primary schools in Jinja, in the Buikwe District in Uganda. 

“Great excitement at one of the schools this morning.  The school children are beaming and happily queuing up for their meal.  This is a great initiative.” Emailed Claudia Taylor East, SOS Malta’s CEO who is on the ground at the schools in Uganda co-ordinating the launch of the project.  She continued, “We have together managed to create a community amongst the people, knowing that they are being supported by so many hundreds of Romy Foods customers.”

Rickard Gillblad, Romy Foods’ Founder and Managing Director said: “At Romy Foods we take our Corporate Social Responsibility very seriously. Through this initiative we have now defined our commitment to help reduce world famine.  We are dedicated to finance a meal to children in Africa for every meal that is sold through our logistics hubs to corporate clients.”

Claudia Taylor East continues: “How wonderful to see the excitement about having a cup of porridge and to understand that with 'a meal for a meal' Uganda will have better students not going hungry again.”
