Kenyan chef Maliha Mohammed has appealed for donations in cash or kind ahead of her trial cook-a-thon scheduled for May 26, 2023.

She said she would do a trial cook-a-thon for 45 hours to test the waters.

Via her Instagram page, she shared her account details, saying all cash donated would be for her preparation and overall expenses.

Maliha added that food she would cook at her trial cook-a-thon would be donated and distributed to a company for women's empowerment, her fans and loved ones who troop out to watch her cooking live in her home.

Her post reads:

"Kindly donate in cash or kind.

"Through mpesa no. 0706349213.

"All cash will help in preparation and overall expenses of the 45hours cooking trial.

"Let's donate and show some love.

"Food will be donated and distributed by @rehanabaluch empowering the African woman company (0113031976) and ofcourse for my fans, friends and family, who will come to see me cooking live in my home kitchen in Tudor Mombasa."

"With all due respect ma'am, allow Hilda to enjoy the record for sometime. Maybe a year or two.... u don't look good right now in the eyes of most of us Black women."

"You should be getting sponsors not begging for donation, yall constantly competing with Nigerians it’s pathetic, good luck sha but try loosing all that weight before you attempt standing for 45hours."

"@chefalimandhry I remember randomly bumping into your victory video on NTV a few year back. What struck me was the lack of support, kweli hatupendani, you nailed it so effortlessly. This time round we must rally the country behind you. You have our support my dear."

@cutekiddies_closet said:

"Why do you have to go all this way just to compete with a young lady and you want donations meanwhile she did hers without begging for donations."

@chebichii_vale said:

"Please let Hildas star to win. Sio ati ju ameshinda unataka uwe star. Sio poa hivo. Mpee time yake kisha yako."

@ofoh_faith said:

"What is the donation for? To cook or to change your phone camera? Because with this camera, Guinness no fit verify evidence ooo set your priorities right."

@ramona_amiah said:

"Women though Hilda just ended hers not even a week after here you are already tryna get the attention.."
