Shoprite Zambia served more than 4,000 cups of soup to health workers working on the frontline of the Covid-19 pandemic at the University Teaching Hospital (UTH) in Lusaka. 

The Shoprite Mobile Soup Kitchen was stationed at UTH in July, where it served 4 275 cups of soup, along with 700 loaves of bread, to Covid-19 frontline staff. This amounts to roughly 610 cups of soup served per day.

The soup is packed with vegetables and includes soya mince for much-needed protein, and the Mobile Soup Kitchen’s location on the premises also meant the health workers did not have to leave the hospital grounds in search of a healthy meal. 

The Shoprite Mobile Soup Kitchen has been serving communities in Zambia for more than four years and is stationed at Community schools serving 900 learners a day when schools are in session.
