Thrive Africa Vegan Restaurant Week

The Thrive Africa Vegan Restaurant Week is the world’s first pan-Africa-wide plant-based campaign. Thrive Africa Vegan Restaurant Week amplifies the plant-based food justice movement across Africa by increasing accessibility for healthy, convenient, plant-based options, and replacing animal products with healthy, sustainable, plant-based restaurant meals, while also bringing widespread awareness to veganism and healthy eating.

The Thrive Africa Vegan Restaurant Week is an annual Africa-wide campaign and week-long celebration simultaneously coordinated by organizations across multiple African countries. All participants simultaneously launch the campaign in their own country, creating an Africa-wide effort to increase accessibility to healthy, plant-based food options and encourage restaurants to adopt vegan menus.  

Join the Thrive Africa Accelerator to gain the skills necessary to launch the campaign in your country and be a part of this world’s first initiative!

Since the inaugural 2023 launch, the annual Thrive Africa Vegan Restaurant Week has had over 40 participating organizations in 11+ African countries, with 100+ participating restaurants and reaching over 5 million people with the nutritious, plant-based message through wide-spread domestic and international media attention. We expect each year to double in reach, join us to be a part of this important initiative!
