About Danny Diliberto

Daniele “Danny” Diliberto is the founder and CEO of Ladles of Love, a South African non‑profit focused on dignity‑first food security. A former restaurateur, Danny began a weekly soup kitchen in 2014 after a commitment to seva (selfless service). From that single kitchen in Cape Town’s CBD, Ladles of Love has grown into a multi‑programme network in the Western Cape and Gauteng, including Nourish Our Children (two daily meals for preschoolers), Dignity Kitchen, Feed the Soil and Realise a Dream. Danny speaks on love‑led leadership, community mobilisation and building scalable, sustainable social impact.
