Hampers of Hope is a global initiative, providing baskets filled with non-perishable food items to individuals and families in desperate need.
The Hampers of Hope Initiative started when we recognised a need to support single mothers, some who were sick and dying of AIDS, with some staple food items. This initiative was pioneered in Kenya and has now grown and provides into communities in Uganda and Thailand.
$50 (Aus) provides a basket full of essential food items, as well as some soap, toothpaste and a couple of treats. Each basket feeds a small family for approximately one month. We were told by one woman living in the slums of Ngong, Kenya that this basket meant that her children wouldn’t need to go scavenging for food in the local tip.
Each basket and all of the food and products are sourced from local markets, warehouses, and businesses, which therefore supports the local economy.
