Carrefour Foundation - 2017 Annual Report

Gourmet menus for those in greatest need The Carrefour Foundation supported the opening of the first Refettorio in Brazil in 2016 with the Gastromotiva association, which trains young people in the food and catering trades. In March 2018, alongside the Food for Soul association, it also opened a new “anti-waste” solidarity restaurant in the crypt of the Madeleine church in Paris. The menus served to those in great difficulty are gourmet meals prepared by chefs using surplus or unsold food ingredients (100 meals prepared every day using 130 kg of unsold food). Food for Soul is an Italian non-profit organisation founded by chef Massimo Bottura to empower communities to fight food waste through social inclusion by creating supportive, pleasant and convivial restaurants to feed those in greatest need. In 2018, the association will open another solidarity restaurant with the Fondazione Made in Cloister in Naples (Italy), also supported by the Carrefour Foundation. Fortified powdered food for undernourished children Since it was created in 1981, the China Children and Teenagers’ Fund (CCTF) has been combating malnutrition and school absenteeism by creating day centres for children in difficulty. In 2017, three “Happy Homes” were opened, adding to the four that already existed. The association has also set up a programme to fight anaemia and malnutrition in children aged 6 to 24 months. Every day, 540 children from disadvantaged households receive YingYangBao, a fortified food powder, to mix with meals. It contains proteins, iron, folic acid, calcium, zinc and vitamins, and helps prevent health problems related to malnutrition.
