Feeding Hope: Building on Success in 2024
Feeding Hope is a compassionate initiative born from the desire to nourish both body and spirit in our community. Launched in 2023 by Agulu Lounge, this annual Thanksgiving event aims to provide free, high-quality meals to disadvantaged individuals near Ngong Road, Kenya. Our inaugural event in 2023 served 1,074 meals, reaching 43% children, 37% women, and 20% men. After the success of our inaugural event in 2023, we’re excited to announce our second annual Thanksgiving event which will be held on November 28, 2024. We’re organizing a one-day event aiming to provide free meals to up to 10,000 disadvantaged Kenyans in our community in continued partnership with Kenya Harlequin F.C., Architects Alliance, SHOFCO, Uthabiti Africa, Smiles Foundation and Street Smile Kenya.

Our Goal
Last year, we raised Kshs. 444,694 and invested Kshs. 623,025 in our initiative, demonstrating our commitment to this cause. As the cost of living continues to rise, many families struggle more than ever to make ends meet. This Thanksgiving, we’re renewing our ambitious goal to provide up to 10,000 meals throughout the day, a significant increase from the 1,074 meals we served in 2023. We aim to ensure no disadvantaged individual in our community goes hungry on this special occasion. Building on last year’s experience, where we served 43% children, 37% women, and 20% men, we’re planning to create an even warmer and more welcoming environment at the RFUEA Grounds in Nairobi, providing not just a delicious, wholesome meal, but also a profound sense of unity and togetherness.
Volunteer Engagement
The success of our first event was made possible by the dedication of our volunteers and staff. This year, we’re calling on even more individuals and organizations to join us and help make this year’s event an even greater success. Whether you have a passion for cooking, serving, or simply spreading joy, your contribution will be invaluable. By working together, we can create a positive impact and make a lasting difference in the lives of our community members
Power Of Giving
To bring this expanded vision to life and surpass last year’s impact, we seek support from generous hearts like yours. Your donations will help us cover the increased costs of ingredients, logistics, and equipment necessary to provide a memorable dining experience for even more people this year. Every shilling counts now more than ever, and even a small contribution can make a significant difference. Last year, individual donors like you made our initiative possible. This year, with your help, we aim to ensure that no one goes to bed hungry on Thanksgiving Day and to reach our goal of 10,000 meals. Together, we can make this year’s Feeding Hope initiative a landmark event of compassion and community spirit, building on the foundation we laid in 2023
