Being stick thin and seriously underweight is one thing ...
But when a child’s hair starts falling out, you know that starvation is a reality.

Six months ago, Talent was so severely malnourished that she was losing her hair. At 5 years old, this pretty little girl weighed only 9kg ... half the weight she should have been.

Now – thanks to the peanut butter sandwich and a cup of fresh milk she gets at our Meadowlands feeding centre every day – Talent weighs a far healthier 14kg. And her hair is growing back!

Who would think that such a simple little meal could make all the difference? But for Talent, and 1650 other hungry children at the centre, it’s literally a life-saver.

And it's people like you who are saving these kids –
through your generous sponsorship of their daily meal.

All in all, we’re using gifts from friends like you to feed over 31 000 children from poverty stricken homes each day – at 13 community centres in Soweto, Kagiso, Alexandra, Tembisa, Daveyton, Tsakane and KwaThema

But these are growing children we’re talking about – and they need food every day. That’s why we urge you to make your donation online right now.

If you can spare R125 right now, it will feed a child like Talent for three months. And make all the difference between starvation and a healthy childhood.

But it’s not just about saving a hungry child today. You’re also making an investment in the future.

Because getting enough to eat = bright healthy kids who do well in school and grow up to be productive members of society.

We’ve come a long way since the late Bishop Trevor Huddleston started the original peanut butter sandwich scheme at schools in 1945. It’s a system that works – and delivers real results.

But only because compassionate people like you get involved.
