The Annual Kids Feast in Rural Ghana aims to provide a joyful and nourishing experience for over children in rural communities in Ghana. This project focuses on bringing together kids for a celebration filled with food, fun, learning and community spirit.
Last year 2024 we were able to Nourish and put smiles to the faces of over 5,000 children by offering each child: 1 festive dress, 1 pair of shoes, 2 hot meals, served on December 25 and January 1. This project is a heartfelt effort to uplift the spirits of these children and provide them with the care and joy they deserve during the holiday season.
We hope to receive more funding and increase the participants.
We invite you to join us in making a meaningful difference in their lives this year 2025! Not only nourishment but also educational, and health resources that foster joy, love and peace.
