Amina Wekesa

Amina spent six years working with restaurant groups and hotel kitchens across Nairobi, where the same conversation kept coming up: good food, cooked well, thrown out at closing time because there was no dignified way to sell it.

She started NourishGo to give that food a second route to a table — one that pays the kitchen back instead of asking it for charity.

She leads vendor partnerships and spends most of her week in kitchens, markets and back-of-house corridors listening to the people who actually handle the food.
