Overview

The Accra Street Feast is a direct-impact initiative driven by the passionate volunteers of our first program edition. Recognizing the immediate need for food security among street-connected children, Volunteer Group C took action. They planned, cooked, and personally distributed meals, turning a simple idea into a powerful act of community support and nourishment.

• Audience: Approximately 100 unprivileged children and individuals on the streets.
• Locations: Makola and Madina, two of Accra's busiest urban centers.
• Team: Volunteer Group C (Volunteer Program Edition 1).

Objectives

The project was founded on simple yet profound goals:

• To provide immediate relief from hunger by serving hot, nutritious meals.
• To connect directly with the community and show solidarity with its most vulnerable members.
• To empower our volunteers through a hands-on project, from preparation to distribution.
• To raise awareness about the challenges faced by street-connected children in Accra.

Activities & Events

The project was a complete end-to-end effort, managed entirely by our volunteer team. It was a day of collaboration, hard work, and heartfelt connection.

• The Cookout: Volunteer Group C came together to cook the meals from scratch. It was a team effort filled with energy and a shared sense of purpose.
• Packaging and Preparation: The freshly cooked food, along with bottled water, was carefully packaged into individual portions, ready for efficient and hygienic distribution.
• Street Distribution: The team then traveled to the busy areas of Makola and Madina, personally handing out the food packages to children and others in need, sharing smiles and moments of connection.

FAQ

Who cooked the food?
The meals were entirely prepared by our dedicated volunteers from Group C. They planned the menu, purchased the ingredients, and cooked everything themselves as a team.

How were the distribution locations chosen?
Makola and Madina were selected because they are high-traffic urban areas where many street-connected children and vulnerable individuals are known to congregate, ensuring our efforts reached those most in need.
