KFC’s Add Hope supports 1753 children daily through Africa Food for Thought
Publicity 455
KFC continues to add hope with Africa Food for Thought, in support of feeding children in Gauteng’s West Rand. Through the respectable work they do at schools, this heartfelt organisation realised that while many children come from disadvantaged backgrounds, some are more vulnerable than others.
Too often there are children living in child-headed homes with no sustainable income. The biggest problem is that many of these children get no grants from the government, either through ignorance, through fear of being institutionalised, or even from lack of documentation, such as birth certificates.
Africa Food for Thought is one of KFC Add Hope’s over 90 beneficiaries, and is a non-profit organisation run with the assistance of volunteers, and only four paid staff, to help combat this problem. The organisation aims to help those who need it the most by providing feeding programmes. One of their main focuses is on equipping and supplying school feeding programmes as well as being involved in a number of community projects, self-help/empowerment projects, shelters and half-way houses.
Africa Food for Thought volunteer, Rian Louw says, “Add Hope gives us the security to make a promise to a child, knowing that we can keep it. They’re about children and nutrition. But they don’t just give us money. They give us their hands and hearts as well. They don’t just monitor our progress and hold us accountable. They get stuck in and support, like we’re all on the same side. They truly have added hope to children’s hearts.”
Currently, KFC’s Add Hope supports Africa Food for Thought through two schools, 12 early childhood development centres, 115 orphaned and vulnerable children families and one afterschool centre. This results in a total of 1753 being fed on a daily basis, a number that KFC Add Hope is proud to be a part of, as part of the 99 000 children Add Hope currently feeds.

Right now, Africa Food For Thought supports 115 of these households with monthly food parcels, which typically contain the basic staples required for nutritional survival.
