 Now, Egyptians can now contribute to releasing food waste by ordering fresh access food from restaurants and other supplies with a discount via the application to Kaya. Users in the Arab world's most populous country can also order meals and send them to charities. The restaurants too can donate their access food for free. The application was founded by the Dubai-based couple, Mena Shaheen and her husband, Max who launched it in 2019. While the application now relies on a provided-the-customer model, a future phase of the project will introduce a provided-to-provider model, where supermarkets or direct accesses product to restaurants at reduced prices.
