Our Multidimensional Program Approach
Our Programmes
Health & Nutrition
Through our health and nutrition pillar, ACFS is changing the trajectory of children’s early development and ensuring they are set up on a path of good health and nutrition that aids in their overall social and educational achievements.
Learning & Development
Through our learning and development pillar ACFS supports the cognitive and age-appropriate development needs of children. We target the early years through to matric on a continuum of care.
Food Security
Through our sustainable good gardens, we mitigate against household level hunger and malnutrition, by skilling the community in good practices. The creation of sustainable thriving food secure communities remains an urgent priority.
Sustainable Livelihoods:through inclusive Youth-led economic development
Driven under our Social Enterprise development strategy, our aim is to transform local township economies so that they include youth participation along the local economic ecosystem.
Get Involved
Whether you’re donating cash, including us in your will or volunteering your time and expertise, or any other of the multiple ways to get involved, we thoroughly appreciate your generosity. Thank you.
Get To Know Us
Ours was the original “peanut butter sandwich and milk” feeding scheme and this humble meal remains at the core of our existence. ACFS has grown and developed to provide a holistic programme aimed at enabling all children to reach their potential.
Impact of Poverty
Poverty has an ability to perpetuate itself. The cycle often begins in childhood, creating a vicious cycle that persists for generations. Children born into impoverished households face numerous challenges that hinder their development and opportunities, making it extremely difficult to break free from the cycle.
