We Can End Hidden Hunger in our Lifetime
2 billion people aren’t getting enough life-giving nutrients to reach their full potential and fight disease.
We believe the world’s biggest problem is hidden hunger. It impacts everything. Hidden hunger is a chronic lack of vitamins, minerals and micro-nutrients only whole foods can deliver. It shows up in EVERY country where the first priority is to get food in bellies, and where we only eat meal after meal of processed, white grains and corn.
It causes kids to miss school. It keeps adults from work when they’re chronically ill. And it orphans too many children.
The diseases caused by hidden hunger cost us too much to treat —if we have access to healthcare at all. And the burden of disease from Hidden Hunger limits global efforts to end extreme poverty. Because nutrition is a basic need and only when it’s met can people thrive.
Until now, the knowledge and training of a nutrient-dense diet has seemed out of reach for many.
But with training from the Thrive Institute, anyone can grow health.
What is the Thrive Institute?
The Thrive Institute is the first online training platform that empowers and equips students with the training needed to start ‘Life Gardens’ and grow nutritious, disease-fighting foods. Learners aren’t just taught how to grow nutritious, organic food, they learn how to grow sustainably and generate income from the surplus.
Thrive Institute courses are based on:
- 10+ years of hands-on experience growing health
- Over 1 million hours of training, research and applied practice
- Extensive consulting with world leaders in health and organic growing
Step-By-Step Life Garden Courses
With an online platform that optimizes the learning experience through video, instructed course teachings, and online resources, students are able to advance their ‘growing’ skills any time, anywhere and on any device that is connected to the internet.

What Students are Saying
Thrive has a rich history and extensive experience in offering training to individuals, just like you. We have trained over 35,000 leaders and community members since 2010. Thrive students go on to impact thousands of lives and create sustainability wherever they work.
“The training has helped our staff – they are applying the techniques at their homes. It has helped the institution to cut costs on food, and we sell the surplus for income. Diseases among the children have been reduced.”
– Mark Kamondi, Managing Director, React Kenya
“We had an amazing {introductory} workshop with over 50 attendees. We had people that were NGOs, people that were agriculturalists and everyone was so zealous to get started on this organic, nutritional, medicinal, gardening. We are excited because we have 4 children’s homes and we are introducing this to them. One of the homes is already using greens and they do not have to buy any soup ingredients, they get it all from their gardens. 7 different projects have been started and we are in 3 different schools.”
– Karen Barkman, Executive Director, Provision of Hope
“The benefits of this training have empowered me to grow healthy food for my family, community, and Church. I’m beginning to be referred to as a doctor, farmer, etc. This brings a lot of joy to me because people are benefiting from my life not only spiritually as a Pastor but a growing health ambassador. We are also beginning to sell. The community is also happy to spend less money on food.”
– Ernest Moore, Pastor, Liberia
“It has helped the deaf community to stand on their own and not to be dependent. It has also helped the deaf to know their capabilities. The training has helped the deaf know who they are and feel more valued and cared for.”
– Rev. Masai, Lead Priest, Anglican Church of Kenya
