How it started…<\/strong><\/p>

Etesd was born as a non-profit start-up during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. Our activities grew rapidly due to the intensifying health crisis. As case numbers started rising with more people needing hospital treatment, we felt a strong need to provide support to the overwhelmed healthcare workers. At the same time our gastro businesses were forced to shut down so our freed-up human resources and surplus food supplies could have potentially gone to waste. We set out to connect with like-minded people in and around the gastronomy business who wanted to help with channelling the surplus supply to where the greatest demand was. As we all were in total isolation, we used social media to bring together a core group of people that founded Etesd (Feed).<\/p>

Over the past 4 years, we have not only managed to build Etesd (Feed) as a standalone non-profit enterprise, but also created an ecosystem of volunteers, partners, sponsors and suppliers who share the same sense of responsibility, driven by a commitment to do their part in developing and supporting our community. By cooperating with our likeminded generous partners and donors we can perform our work to help the community in various ways.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t

We wanted to carry on with our fundamental philosophy of \u201cwhat if change started with food?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>

… as during the Covid-19 pandemic we experienced how it feels to provide help and support to those in need, we have chosen to focus on childhood development and knowledge transfer as our first priorities.<\/p>

We contribute to the best of our ability to realisation of UN Sustainable Development Goals by using the power of food: we raise awareness and help children to build the right skillsets and adopt environmentally conscious behaviours in their everyday lives. We developed innovative knowledge-based Gastro Academy programmes for children to ensure for them the relevant information and awareness for sustainability, healthy lifestyle in harmony with nature.<\/span><\/p>

As a forward-thinking environmentally responsible non-profit organisation we wish to address critical challenges that our world faces around sustainability and health.<\/span><\/p>

We have chosen to focus on childhood development and knowledge transfer as our first priorities<\/strong><\/p>

We developed and implemented innovative knowledge-based programmes and workshops centering on our values of sustainability, zero-waste, healthy nutrition and lifestyle, while developing children\u2019s basic-, psychomotor and social skills.<\/p>

We have expanded our programme-portfolio with the main emphasis on educational programmes on gastronomy & sustainability for children (including children with disabilities and from disadvantaged backgrounds), while also organising charity cooking events for corporates. We continue to provide support to groups in needs by channelling our surplus resources or donated supplies.<\/p>
