Like so many residents of the community situated near Centurion, the family has struggled financially. Add Hope supports 12 major national beneficiaries, such as Olievenhoutbosch Christian School, as well as 125 local beneficiaries chosen by franchisees to have an impact in their local communities. Olievenhoutbosch Christian School, supported by Blue-O Community Development, is a local beneficiary situated in the Olievenhoutbosch community on the R55 just outside Centurion.

Expresso KFC Add Hope World Hunger Month
The stats tell a staggering story, but what can we do about it? While the National Schools Nutrition Programme and social grants are improving access to food, there is a great need for NGOs, with private and public support, to turn the tide on the devastating impact of hunger and poor nutrition is having on our children. Initiatives that raise funds to supporting these NGOs – like Add Hope - are playing a vital role. This World Hunger Month, the Add Hope team gathered at MES to raise awareness about the importance of good nutrition for children.
