The Idea

TABLE FOR TWO (TFT) tackles the opposing issues of malnutrition in developing countries and obesity/overconsumption in the developed world through a unique "calorie transfer" program. This spring TFT is making a push among college campuses, with its "100 Campuses in 100 Days" campaign.

The Specifics

At AshokaU we were able to personally meet and speak with dozens of students and faculty members from 26 universities in the U.S. and Canada who were interested in taking the TABLE FOR TWO program to their respective campuses. It has only been a month, but already we have:
- 6 campuses that have launched TFT programs in their cafeterias and kiosks, with at least 3 more launching in April
- students in at least 40 universities across North America actively engaged in TFT

We also met the organizer of TEDxUCIrvine at AshokaU, and had a successful collaboration in early March (see picture). We are now looking at a larger-scale collaboration with TEDx (and eventually, TED).

Stay tuned for more updates!
