What is the KFC Add Hope donation?
KFC's Add Hope is a worldwide initiative, mainly active in South Africa, dedicated to combating hunger and malnutrition among children. It encourages customers to add a small donation—usually R2—to their orders, which KFC matches to fund nutritious meals for children through collaborations with non-profit organisations.
Add Hope has delivered millions of meals to children and has become an impactful charitable effort in South Africa. The program also operates in other countries, with KFC stores around the world taking part.

"People are so negative, that is why you don’t get blessed, just once be positive guys because y'all don’t even donate your R2 at the counter when the cashiers ask you. You all become defensive and very angry."

"The camera for what? We add hope every time we buy, but we are not out here with cameras to do good for the sake of doing good, not for views."
