AFRICA VEGAN RESTAURANT WEEK 2023
The 2023 Africa Vegan Restaurant Week was the first of its kind in Africa. It was an Africa-wide campaign and week-long celebration organised by activists and organizations from all across Africa. All participants simultaneously launched 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.
2023 was the inaugural Africa Vegan Restaurant Week with 29 participating organizations and 50 participating restaurants from 15 countries and widespread international media attention. We expect 2024 to be double the reach, join us to be a part of this important initiative!
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.
