Food Not
Bombs cofounder Keith McHenry has made several visits to work with local
chapters in Africa. These three sites provide an account of his visits
and photos of the work of Food Not Bombs. Food Not Bombs provides a
unique way to seek an end to hunger in Africa. Each chapter is organized
by local Africans that provide solutions based on the three principles
of Food Not Bombs where each group uses consensus to make decisions,
provides free vegan or vegetarian meals without restriction and is
dedicated to nonviolence. In the past food aid was brought to Africa
from outside often harming local agriculture and creating dependence on
international NGOs. We believe Food Not Bombs is providing a new model
that offers self relience. The groups in Nigeria and Kenya are seeking some
funds to complete the registration of their groups with their naional
governments. This is important in Africa to maintain the safety of our
volunteers. As you can see reading the pages on each country events are moving quickly. Nigeria is facing a wave of bombings and an election. Political pressure on people supporting an end to corruption in Kenya that is causing millions to live in poverty and economic forces against peasant farmers in Ethiopia all point to a need to continue building a strong Food Not Bombs movement in Africa. Once they have the registration they will be able to continue raise money on their own with little outside support. Please make a donation at on our webpage. Any size
contribution is helpful - thanks
