OUR FOCUS
Strengthening nutrition, education and health for children and young people across East Africa.
Access to food and proper nutrition is the foundation of Plein de Vie’s work. By supporting sustainable meal and nutrition programs, we help create the stability that allows children and young people to grow, concentrate, and build the conditions for learning and development.
When children receive consistent nourishment, it strengthens their ability to focus in school, maintain their health, and develop the confidence needed to pursue their future.
When children are properly nourished, the conditions for learning improve. Plein de Vie supports initiatives that help strengthen access to education and learning environments where children and young people can develop knowledge, confidence, and long-term opportunity.
By working with trusted local partners, we help create spaces where learning becomes possible, and where young people can build the skills and understanding needed to shape their own future.
Healthy growth and well-being are essential for young lives to thrive. Plein de Vie supports initiatives that promote physical health, stability, and positive development, helping children and young people build the foundation for a stronger and more resilient future.
Through programs that encourage well-being and balanced development, we aim to support communities where young people can grow in strength, confidence, and opportunity.
THE FOUNDATION OF OUR FOCUS
This belief shapes the three pillars that guide our work: nutrition and food access, education and learning, and health and development. Together they reflect a simple understanding — that meaningful and lasting progress begins with the basic conditions that allow young lives to develop with dignity and possibility.
Our geographic focus is East Africa, a region with one of the youngest and fastest-growing populations in the world. Across the region, millions of children and young people represent the future of their communities. Supporting their access to food, education and healthy development is not only a humanitarian responsibility, but also an important investment in stronger and more resilient societies over time.
The origins of Plein de Vie are also deeply personal. The founder arrived in Europe at a young age as a refugee from a war-torn country and experienced long periods of hunger and instability during childhood. Those experiences created a lasting understanding of how profoundly access to food and stability can shape a child’s ability to learn, develop and imagine a future.
Plein de Vie was therefore created as a structured and respectful way to give back — supporting initiatives that help ensure children and young people have access to nourishment, stability and the opportunity to grow with dignity. By focusing on long-term partnerships and locally grounded initiatives, Plein de Vie works to support programs where nutrition strengthens education, education supports development, and development helps communities build stronger futures. Companies that work with the Plein de Vie ecosystem become part of this effort. Through everyday business choices, partners help contribute to meaningful progress
Plein de Vie supports local initiatives improving nutrition, access to education and healthy development for children and young people across East Africa.
