Make Christmas special for children in Ghana and Kenya
This Christmas, we aim to provide 3,352 children across nine of our partner schools in Ghana and Kenya with a delicious Christmas meal and a special day to remember.
For many children, this will be more than just a meal. It’s a chance to come together with friends, enjoy something special and celebrate Christmas, just like any other child.
Your donation can also bring comfort to families who face the worry of providing food for their children, helping make Christmas a little brighter for those who need it most.
Any additional funds raised will support our vital food security programme in Kenya.
As little as 74p can provide a special meal*
Every donation, no matter how big or small, helps bring a little extra joy to a child’s Christmas by providing a special meal to enjoy and memories to treasure.
*It could cost as little as 74p to provide a nutritious Christmas meal for a child, although costs vary depending on the school.
Learn about the impact of your donation
Many of the children who attend our partner schools rely on our food security programme for two nutritious meals each day. Without this support, some would go without.
For these children, school is about so much more than learning. It provides a safe place to spend time with friends, a sense of belonging and, importantly, reliable access to nutritious food.
At Christmas, we make the day extra special by serving a festive meal featuring favourites such as potatoes, meat, rice, vegetables, chapatti and soda. It’s a chance for children to enjoy something different they wouldn’t normally have, and create happy memories.
Your donation helps make these moments possible, giving children the opportunity to experience the joy and excitement of Christmas just like any other child.
Give a little. Help a lot.

"I live with my aged grandmother and life is very difficult for us. I had the opportunity to take part in the Christmas meal last year and was very happy because I hardly get such a meal at home. Eating chicken was very uncommon, I was overjoyed and almost cried, because there were rice and stew, chicken, soda and biscuits. I hope this will be given to us this year too or else I will not have anything to eat on Christmas day."

“It’s a very nice programme; it makes the children very happy. They get very excited when December comes, as they know they will get a special meal. Children don’t get this at home, so it’s so special to celebrate here at school.”
Elizabeth Teacher at Aklorbordzi School -
"I had a Christmas meal for the second time last year; it has always been my prayer to get it every year. We were given rice and stew, chicken, soda, and 2 biscuits. I was happy because my stepmother can't afford to give me such a meal as she is a peasant farmer and if I don't get in school, then there is no celebration for me, and I will be very sad. I hope it will be given to us this year too."
Kolobo Redeemer, 10 yrs Student at Aklorbordzi School -
“We are very grateful, very grateful. All the children are very happy and enjoy it. The parents are farmers and don’t have money to support their children at Christmas. This meal relieves the burden for them so their children can enjoy a nice meal. They don’t celebrate Christmas with a special meal as they don’t have enough money."
Veronica Teacher at Rhema Abutia School, Ghana -
"After exams, some children don’t want to come back to school, but they heard that African Adventures Foundation were giving a Christmas meal at the school. Our attendance grew, and they were so excited! Parents struggle to afford food for their children, so this meal to celebrate was very much appreciated. It means a lot to them, they usually eat the same food every day, so this meal is really exciting for them; they get something different."
