The Thrive Africa Vegan Restaurant Week is the first of its kind campaign in Africa where activists jointly organize and celebrate plant-based foods while encouraging restaurants to include vegan dishes on their daily food menus. It is an exciting campaign created by Thrive Philanthropy and Thrive Africa.

The second edition of Thrive Africa Vegan Restaurant Week happened in September 2024 with 79 participating organizations coming together from 25 countries and widespread international media attention. Over 70 restaurants across Africa enthusiastically showcased vegan dishes, giving patrons the opportunity to enjoy plant-based cuisine and discover delicious, healthy alternatives it offers. We expect 2025 to be even bigger!

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.
