    We seek funds for our start-up program organization aiming at reducing social economic impact of poverty and hunger by implementing the National Policy on Food & Nutrition Security, with the Strategy approved by the Cabinet of South Africa in 2013. We want to ensure that the poor and vulnerable South Africans attain sustainable food and nutrition security. The program in partnership with the other organizations and is taken up targeting deprived communities. We focus at build up stable satellite where we feed 240 old women and men with dignity on daily basis. We want to reach to the very poor and vulnerable groups as they still experience hunger and malnutrition. A more comprehensive and integrated program has to be implemented and to deal with the challenges designed to reach out to the whole Eastern Cape Province in SOUTH AFRICA. Taking one district at a time until we reach our immediate goals.
    • Enable poor and vulnerable household’s access to food & Increase food distribution to the poor and vulnerable households
