Transforming School Meals with a Mission

At Leela’s Lunches, our mission is to shape the palates of future generations by promoting real, whole foods and encouraging healthier eating habits from an early age. We provide over 15,000 nutritionally balanced meals daily to children across 10 schools and 38 nurseries in the UAE. By incorporating vegetables into sauces, purees, and even desserts, prioritizing whole grains, and eliminating processed ingredients, artificial sweeteners, and refined products, we ensure every meal fuels growing minds and bodies with the highest quality nutrition.

Our commitment extends beyond the plate to the planet. Sustainability is woven into every aspect of our operations. From sourcing locally and working with certified hormone-free and antibiotic-free meat suppliers to designing menus that prioritize ingredients with a low carbon footprint, we aim to lead by example in environmental responsibility. Every decision we make reflects our belief in nurturing both young minds and our shared earth. As part of our continued focus on further reducing carbon footprint, we have recently begun replacing our fleet of delivery vehicles with electric ones.

Through our partnership with TASS, we’re taking our sustainability mission even further. Together, we’re creating meaningful change by promoting sustainable school ecosystems and fostering awareness about how food impacts health and the environment. By teaching children about the origins of their meals and the importance of mindful consumption, we’re empowering the next generation to make choices that protect our planet.

Our dedication to following British Paediatric nutritional guidelines ensures every meal is perfectly portioned for optimal nourishment while minimizing waste. At Leela’s Lunches, we’re not just feeding children; we’re creating a movement—a commitment to health, sustainability, and the well-being of future generations.

Together with TASS, we’re creating a legacy of health, wellness, and sustainability that prepares today’s students to lead with responsibility and care for the world they will inherit.
