Plato Limpio Impactful Projects
Educate to Transform
Plato Limpio is a project with a genuine triple impact.
We reduce food waste and its environmental impact. We help schools improve the efficiency of their dining services. And, above all, we use education to create lasting change.
Because we believe that reducing food waste is about much more than throwing away less food.
It is about learning to value food, natural resources, and the people behind them.
Education is our greatest driver of transformation.
ONE PROJECT. THREE WAYS TO CREATE IMPACT.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
We measure and reduce food waste, promote a more responsible use of resources, and help people understand the environmental impact of their everyday decisions.
SOCIAL IMPACT
We engage students, teachers, families, and catering staff to build a more aware, responsible, and committed community.
ECONOMIC IMPACT
We turn data into actionable decisions that improve planning, optimize food use, and reduce the costs associated with food waste.
AND ONE ELEMENT THAT CONNECTS THEM ALL: EDUCATION
Data helps us understand the problem. Education empowers us to change it.
EDUCATION IS ALSO ABOUT LEARNING TO CARE FOR OTHERS
We want Plato Limpio to help students understand that their choices are part of an interconnected world.
Talking about food and food waste also gives us the opportunity to promote essential values:
Respect. Solidarity. Equality. Inclusion. Empathy. Responsibility. Cooperation.
Values that cannot be learned from a textbook alone.
They are learned by discovering other realities, asking meaningful questions, and realizing that our actions can help improve the lives of others.
That is why Plato Limpio Impact Projects was created.
ONE PLATE, ONE FUTURE

OPPORTUNITIES
From Waste to Energy.
From Energy to Opportunity.
Our first impact project takes us to Olosho-Oibor, in Kajiado County, Kenya, home to the Beloved Daughters of Maasai Rescue Centre.
The centre provides protection, shelter, food, and access to education for girls who have had to leave their families due to highly vulnerable circumstances, as well as for other children without family support.
Today, preparing daily meals at the centre depends largely on firewood and charcoal.
We want to help change that.
The project involves installing a biodigester capable of converting organic waste into biogas for cooking and natural fertilizer for agriculture.
A small example of the circular economy with a profound social impact.
FROM THE PROJECT IN KENYA TO THE CLASSROOM
A school can take part in ONE PLATE, ONE FUTURE in many different ways.
LEARN
Discover how other children and young people live, understand the challenges surrounding food, energy, natural resources, and equality, and learn how a biodigester works.
REFLECT
Explore in the classroom concepts such as respect, solidarity, inclusion, responsible consumption, equal opportunities, and global citizenship.
ACT
Develop challenges, activities, or initiatives designed by the students themselves to create a positive impact.
Connect
Follow the project's progress, meet the people making it possible, and see what happens when a need, a solution, and a community come together.
CONTRIBUTE
Schools, families, and organizations that wish to do so will also have the opportunity to contribute and help make the project a reality.
