Community Meal Delivery Schedule for Ebola-Affected Families🌐Translate

Pitch

Written by the team. Not an investment offer and not advice.

Problem

Ebola's spread in DRC increases the need for resources, especially food for patients and families. A local meal delivery schedule could address urgent support gaps.

What they are building

A paper-based delivery schedule and checklist, managed by a local volunteer coordinator, covering 10-20 families in a single neighborhood for two weeks. Meals are prepared in an existing community kitchen or sourced from local food donations. Delivery logs and feedback forms are maintained.

Why it matters

Whether a scheduled, contact-minimized delivery system increases meal coverage and reduces gaps compared to ad hoc or centralized distribution in the same area. Proposed validation: Proposed pilot target: Deliver at least one meal per day to 80% of identified families (baseline: unknown, to be measured) over 14 days. Success measured by delivery logs and family feedback. Compare to prior meal access rates if available.
