Sending kids to school with lunch isn’t easy. And they can’t always come home to eat.
A Food4Education lunch feeds your child’s body and mind. So they can focus and learn at school. The food is delicious, filled with the nutrients a growing body needs.
Fill out the form from your child’s school.
Your child will tap their wristband at lunch time, and enjoy a nutritious meal!
Tap2Eat is a cashless payment system that makes it easy for parents to financially contribute towards meals for children.
A Tap2Eat wristband is a device that looks like a watch that is given to the children to wear on their wrist. It is used to deduct meal payments during each feeding time. Children tap their watch on a device, the amount is deducted from their account, and they can access their meals.
Once your account is registered, your child will receive a wristband for free.
The first wristband is free. Report any lost Tap2Eat wristband to Tap2Eat representatives in your child’s school. You can reach out to the Tap2Eat customer experience team through 0713379230 for a replacement.

No, the Tap2Eat program is cashless and does not accept any cash payments for Tap2Eat wristband replacements and/or food.
The prices vary depending on the area and program your child is in. Pricing per meal is communicated per school during the school onboarding process.
Payment into your account can be made using any other Safaricom phone number provided that you input your already registered number as the account number.
Your money remains in your account until meal consumption happens. Deduction from your account only happens when your child is tapped and actually served meals, otherwise, your account remains untampered.

The F4E program has been a lifesaver for my family! I have enrolled two kids in the program, and every single day, they eat at school. Before, I’d pack some leftovers for them to carry to school but this program has lifted that off my shoulders. It is a very affordable program, as I only pay KES 15 which even if things are tight, I can afford. Plus, my children are so excited to go to school knowing a delicious meal awaits! I highly recommend F4E to any parent.
