About Us

ReHarvest Ghana

ReHarvest Ghana is a non-profit initiative dedicated to tackling two urgent challenges: food waste and food insecurity. At its core, ReHarvest Ghana operates a surplus food rescue and redistribution system, working directly with restaurants, hotels, schools, supermarkets, and other food service providers to recover wholesome, unused food that would otherwise go to waste. This food is then redistributed to shelters, community kitchens, low-income schools, and vulnerable households across urban and peri-urban areas. Food insecurity remains a persistent issue in Ghana, especially among children, the elderly, and low-income families, while significant volumes of food are discarded daily due to logistical inefficiencies and systemic neglect. ReHarvest Ghana intervenes at this critical intersection of excess and need—facilitating a dignified and sustainable transfer of food from surplus to scarcity.

Why We Exist

ReHarvest Ghana exists to fight food waste and hunger simultaneously. Every day, good food is thrown away while many people go without meals. We step in to rescue that surplus food and deliver it to those who need it most. By doing this, we not only reduce waste but also build a more just, sustainable, and caring food system for everyone.

Our Distinction

Youth Agrifood Empowerment

What sets ReHarvest Ghana apart is its holistic approach. Beyond food redistribution, we offer an integrated Youth Agrifood Training Program.

This initiative equips unemployed and underemployed youth with practical skills in sustainable agriculture, agroecology, and post-harvest handling. Participants undergo structured training modules, participate in demonstration farms, and are supported to launch micro-farming enterprises or join existing agricultural cooperatives. This dual-track strategy, rescuing food waste while building agrifood capacity, seeks to break the cycle of poverty not just through temporary relief but by fostering long-term resilience and economic opportunity among youth.

Why support us

Supporting our organization means joining the fight against hunger and food waste in Ghana. Your support helps us grow, improve our systems, and reach more vulnerable groups. It’s not just about feeding people, it’s about protecting the environment and promoting compassion. Together, we can build a fairer food system where good food feeds people, not landfills. Stand with us to make a real difference.

Our Model

Inspired by the proven community-powered approach of Food Rescue US, our model leverages technology, local networks, and volunteer engagement.

Using a digital platform, food donors log real-time surplus food availability, and a team of trained volunteer drivers promptly collects and transports the items to designated distribution sites, ensuring efficiency, traceability, and freshness. Our operations emphasize food safety protocols, proper handling, and accountability. We foster partnerships with local NGOs, municipal authorities, and health services to ensure that rescued food meets quality standards and that distribution aligns with local needs assessments.
