What is MBOJA’O ONLINE?
MBOJA’O ONLINE is a social enterprise with a heart for triple impact. It’s all about transforming realities by tackling food waste head-on. The service targets restaurants, hotels, and cafes that discard food daily—food that’s still perfectly good to eat. Instead of letting it go to waste, MBOJA’O collects this surplus and delivers it to places feeding disadvantaged people. It’s a smart, compassionate way to fight food waste while helping those in vulnerable situations get the nourishment they need.
