feed the
children of
the world

In South Africa 70% of children live in poverty and don’t get the food they need.
We are changing this.

Hunger holds children back

An empty stomach makes it harder for kids to learn.
And when learning falters, so does the chance to grow and escape poverty.
Hunger shouldn't stand in the way of children’s potential.

We feed children

Every afternoon, we serve hot, nutritious meals. Well-balanced dishes, that include vegetables from our organic garden, are prepared fresh in our kitchens, and are served on site or delivered to local schools, nourishing children and powering their potential.

 
Serving
healthy
food 
The best part of our day is serving the meals! Whether it’s at our project or at the local school, the children line up with big energy and even bigger smiles. Good nutrition is so important to growing minds and bodies, and consistent access to healthy food is essential to a child’s wellbeing and development. Prepared in our kitchens, every plate includes a protein, a starch, and organic vegetables harvested daily from our garden. These well-balanced meals give the children the energy to grow, learn, and thrive.
Empowering
local
communities
In a region facing multiple challenges, our garden, kitchens, and commercial farm work together to enrich the lives of many. We create meaningful jobs that pay a living wage, build valuable skills, and elevate living standards. The meals we serve fuel children’s health while easing the financial burden on struggling families. And surplus garden produce is sold locally at affordable prices, putting nutritious food within reach for more people.
Creating
Lasting
Change 
Truly impacting children’s health requires consistent, dependable access to healthy food. To achieve that, we built a social enterprise with the mission at its core. Our commercial farm operates as a purpose driven business: 100% of its profits go directly into our feeding program. Ours is a model that moves communities beyond charity and establishes an economic engine that will support these children and this program for years to come.

Our social enterprise fuels our mission

To support our mission, we operate a commercial farm that grows peppers for sale throughout South Africa. It is the economic engine that sustains us and propels our growth, and 100% of the farm’s profits are reinvested into our child nutrition program. By turning farmland into a force for good, we’re building a brighter future for children.

Our impact and vision

We feed 1,000 children daily, and we are growing. By 2028, our goal is to serve 10,000 children every day. The local need is dire, and we plan to meet that need. To achieve this, we are also growing our commercial farm to keep pace with our meals program, expanding by more than 20-hectares. The farm is a social enterprise where 100% of our profits feed children.
