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, prepared fresh in our kitchens, delivered to local schools or served on-site, nourishing children and powering their potential.

Our farm fuels our mission

To support our mission, we operate a commercial farm that grows sweet peppers for sale in South Africa, and we reinvest 100% of the farm’s profits into our feeding program. It makes the farm an economic engine that sustains us and propels our growth. By turning farmland into a force for good, we’re building a brighter future for children.

Our work

Serving
healthy
food 
The best part of our day is serving meals to the children who 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 well-being and development. Every meal we serve gives 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 benefit many. We create jobs that elevate living standards. The meals we serve ease the financial burden on struggling families. And surplus garden produce is sold locally, 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: 100% of profits from our farm go directly into our feeding program. Our model establishes an economic engine that will support these children and this program for years to come.

"I love to come to Ubuntu Mundo. Everyone takes care of us, and the food is so good."

Our impact and vision

We feed 1,000 children daily, and we are growing. While the need is dire, we have a plan to meet that need — by 2028 we will feed 10,000 children every day.

Our model is effective at bringing positive change. We will increase our farm to 30 hectares and enlarge our kitchens, creating more jobs, feeding more children, uplifting more lives.
