The Social Partnership Program “Eat Wisely” is designed for local Child NGO‘s and Schools. The main objectives of the Program are quality nutrition and culinary pedagogy among children from socially disadvantaged background. The participating partner organizations are asked to spend at least ¾ of the food budget for products from the local farmers. These objectives have been named to address the challenges caused by spread of fast food culture and growth of cheap and low-quality food consumption among majority population. Participating children have been trained to cook and eat healthy and visited local farmers and food producers.

The outreach of the program "Eat Wisely" in 2018 was 934 children. Each of these children has been fed on average 140 times. The total number of meals at the table, i.e. meals at a prede-termined time and as a whole group, is 130 000 meals. Participating children have been trained to cook and eat healthy and as welcome guests visited farmers and food producers.

After evaluation of applications in 2019, 60 projects were selected for partnership and sponsorship with total 200 00€ for 21 school and 39 Child NGO. In 2019 it is planned to organize 90 meals and culinary exercises, for 4600 children.
