14-year-old Mbuyase was supporting her sickly mother and younger siblings all by herself – until someone like you stepped in to save them.

Mbuyase's mother, Nomusa, is only 50 – but high blood pressure, diabetes and glaucoma have crippled her ability to provide for her children.

During house visits, our team of nurses encountered Mbuyase’s six year old sister, Gugulethu, walking home – this little girl was desperately thin with signs of malnutrition.

We immediately put all five children on our feeding programme, and allocated the family a vegetable garden plot at our Zola feeding centre.

Mbuyase comes every day after school to water their patch and pick fresh vegetables to feed her family. She also receives a cup of fresh milk and a peanut butter sandwich sponsored by friends like you.

But there are still so many desperate families and children that we haven’t reached yet ...
Every day our team of nurses discover another malnourished child ... and another family in crisis. Their chance at survival and health is in your hands – because without your support, our work wouldn’t be possible..

You put health, nutrition and education in the hands of starving children and families – giving food the chance to find the people that need it.
