HOW THE COUNT WORKS
Three steps from an order to the impact on this page
01
Choose the project type
In the customer or partner portal, a project is Feeding, Educating or Empowering. The matching UN Sustainable Development Goals are linked automatically.
02
Allocate orders
Shop orders and invoices are allocated to the project they serve, by the owner or by our team.
03
Counts go live when paid
The moment an allocated order is paid, its meals are counted on these pages. People are the number each project states.
- Only paid orders count. A pending, failed or refunded order adds nothing.
- Meals use the calculator yields: 1 kg OnePot is 20 adult meals, 1 kg porridge is 12.
- No names, streets or phone numbers. A project is named only if its owner lists it.
NGOs & NPOs
How we support NGOs and NPOs
Big Five Foods™ lists approved organisations in a public directory, each with a page of their own. Donors can choose them as a recipient, and customers and partners can allocate the food they buy to those organisations' projects.
Listed in the directory
Once an organisation is reviewed and approved, and opts in, it appears on the NGOs & NPOs page with its own organisation page.
Donors can choose them
In the donor flow, a listed organisation can be chosen as the recipient of a gift, so the meals go to its projects.
Meals allocated to their projects
Customers and partners can allocate food they buy to an organisation they support. Those meals are counted on the organisation's projects.
Verification, project pages and reports
Organisations can be verified, list their projects publicly, and follow the meals and reports on those project pages.
