This will make an indelible mark in the future of these young Nigerians to achieve greatness and purpose to the country and world at large.

In 2020, the Group supported 1,000 kids across various communities by donating N50million and has increased its pledge to supporting 1,200 kids this 2021.

As the leading QSR group in Africa, community touchpoints and outreach programmes are critical for the Group’s overall operations. Now more than ever, with the ravaging effects COVID-19 had on education and learning. The Eat ‘N’ Go Group ensures its active participation provides a solid foundation for human-centred recovery, starting with education for underserved kids.
