FEEDING THE FUTURE

In partnership with Hemas Outreach Foundation (HOF), a government registered charitable trust focusing on early childhood care and development in disadvantaged communities of the country, Hoppers is proud to launch our ‘Feeding the Future’ project…

We have identified pre-schools from HOF’s Piyawara Project school network across the poorest districts of Monaragala, Ampara, Mulativ, Kilinochchi and Vavuniya. We aspire to distribute nutritiously balanced dry rations to these school children with an aim to feed them and their families. Each care package costs roughly £25 and includes:

Red Rice x 5 kg
Dhal x 2 kg
Gram x 1 kg
Sprats x 1 kg
Samaposha x 3 packs
Tinned Fish x 2
Soya x 5 packs
Sugar x 1 kg
Packet of biscuits x 1
Milk Powder x 1 kg
Flour x 1 kg

-We’ll be adding a discretionary £1 on every bill at the restaurants, which guests can request to remove or increase.

-All our restaurants will feature a monthly charity special and all proceeds from this dish will go to ‘Feeding the Future’.

-Hoppers Soho will host a special one-night-only family style feast with all proceeds from the event going to ‘Feeding the Future’. more details to follow.

-Donate directly to our ‘Feeding the Future’ Just Giving page at https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/srilanka-crisis

We’re doing all we can to ensure that every penny contributed is accounted for and used as efficiently as possible.

‘Feeding the Future’ is in partnership with HOF’s Piyawara project with Sri Lanka’s Ministry of Child Development and Women’s Affairs – giving us direct access to 331 Divisional Secretariats around the island to identify the worst affected regions.

We are working with distributors and retailers to use their existing supply chains to reduce the cost of travel and logistics.

Our on-the-ground team consists of HOF employees and volunteers, so none of the funds will be used to pay salaries or related administrative costs.

The project and use of funds will be audited by an independent auditor in Sri Lanka.
