Formerly known as the African Children's Feeding Scheme, the ACFS has come a long way since the late Bishop Trevor Huddleston started the original peanut butter sandwich at schools in 1945.

Today, we pursue seven separate but inter-related activities aimed at uplifting and empowering communities in Soweto, Kagiso, Alexandra, Thembisa, Daveyton, Kwa Thema and Tsakane.

We provide 31 500 children with milk and a peanut butter sandwich daily and, whilst this remains our core focus, we also work to promote healthy, contributing citizens who are economically viable and self sufficient, through:

It couldn't be easier to support your favouite charity, than by getting a MySchool/ MyVillage Card, with ACFS as the beneficiary, and swiping it every time you shop at Woolworths, Reggies and other participating stores. The card won't cost you a cent
– but ACFS will receive a percentage of the value of goods purchased.

Without support from friends like you, little Siyanda would surely have slowly starved to death.

Before we found them, Siyanda and his mother hadn't eaten a decent meal in months.

Even now that he attends our Zola Malnutrition Centre, this thin little boy struggles to eat a tiny amount of his lunch of mince with carrots, rice and pumpkin.

But he's already gained one kilogram and he'll soon be strong enough to start playing with the other children.

Thanks for giving children like this the chance to lead a normal life - by sponsoring their daily life-saving meals.
