In the cool, early light of January 1st, while many of us are just waking up to resolutions and fresh starts, a different kind of intention is taking shape on the streets of Tamale. It’s not about personal goals, but communal care. It’s the sound of a lid lifting from a steaming pot, and the sight of a simple meal being handed over with a smile that says, “You are seen. You matter.”
This is the “Feed the Street” project, an annual beacon of kindness orchestrated by the Lavish Aid Foundation in collaboration with the Wewura Aid Foundation. Last year, they proved a powerful truth: that a warm meal is more than just food. It is dignity. It is a moment of connection. It is a tangible whisper of hope that says, “This new year is for you, too.”
And now, they are gearing up to do it all again. On January 1st, 2026, the mission returns, bigger and more heartfelt. This year, the goal is audacious and beautiful: to reach 500 street kids with nourishment and human warmth.
The philosophy is simple, yet profound: “Feed and Smile with the Street.” The act of sharing a meal breaks down invisible walls. It’s in the shared smile, the brief conversation, the recognition of shared humanity that real change begins. It’s a reminder that community isn’t just where we live, but how we live for one another.
This mission resonates deeply with us at Gaida-Com. As a social enterprise, our core mandate is to support and amplify the work of local leaders who are rolling up their sleeves and making tangible change. We are proud to join and support this year’s initiative, using our platform to share this story of compassion.
But this wave of kindness needs a tide to lift it. This beautiful goal of feeding 500 lives is a collective one.

A little truly does go a long way. Your contribution isn’t just funding a meal; it’s fueling a smile, underwriting a moment of hope, and affirming that in Tamale, no one is forgotten as we step into the promise of a new year.
This New Year’s Day, let’s help write a story of shared plates and shared humanity. Let’s help turn a simple meal into a powerful message: that our community’s strength is measured by how we care for our most vulnerable.
Join the movement. Feed hope.
