Civic & Social Organization - New York, New York, United States
ARK is an award-winning social impact innovator that co-invests with rural communities to solve for food security and create a path towards self-sustainability.ARK's flagship program was originally the ARK Lunch, a P2.50 (5-cent) school-based lunch program that solves hunger and malnutrition for rural kids while creating income for their families. Since the pandemic, it has pivoted to Feed Back, a community-based vegetable exchange that solves for local food supply and leads communities towards new markets. Feed Back creates a self-sustainable path for families by enabling them to create productive backyard gardens, exchange and share excess produce with their neighbors, and discover markets. It gets communities to work together, invest in themselves, solve hunger, and help build a more equitable food system. On top of these food security solutions, ARK also supports its partner communities through emergency relief programs, scholarships, infrastructure builds, and other programs.ARK has been recognized for its innovation by global organizations and has partnerships with other leading corporations and foundations.ARK is headquartered in New York, USA, where it is a duly registered 501(c)(3). It is a duly-registered foundation in the Philippines.Visit ruralkids.org
