Neuro Food has been selected as a 2026 Global Youth Action Fund (GYAF) awardee
Out of 1,100+ applications worldwide, only 110 youth-led projects were selected — representing 324 young changemakers across 40+ countries. Neuro Food is honored to be one of them.
Since then we've reached 200+ students, secured $2,000+ through the Youth Fund Ambassadors Program, and run workshops in schools including Nurorda, Spectrum and the BIL Lyceum for gifted boys.
This grant (up to $2,000 USD) and a full year of global mentorship and collaboration will help us take our work further: tackling the connection between nutrition, brain health, and youth wellbeing in ways that create real impact.

of our daily energy is burned just thinking — as teenagers.
Did you know?
Your brain runs on what's on your plate
As teenagers, we burn nearly one fifth of our daily energy just thinking — which means the right foods can supercharge memory, focus and mood.
That's why we started Neurofood: a student-led NGO bringing you science-backed tips, simple recipes and smart food swaps to keep your mind sharp.
