Background
It all started when one of our founding members saw hungry children looking longingly at lunch being served in a community preschool. She organised meals for them, and the AFFT feeding programme was born.
In 2004, we were providing meals to 50 children in one informal settlement. A generous and regular donation of fresh vegetables enabled us to expand the programme. More than 20 years later we provide food security to over 2,500 children through a variety of programmes.
OVC Families Programme We currently have almost 40 families in the programme that we support with montly groceries.
Peter France Bursary Programme
We continue to support the children from our families programme when they are at college or university. Many are working after graduating from this programme.
Preschool Programme
There are currently 63 informal creches in our programme.
School Feeding Programmes
We support school feeding programmes in 3 schools.
Meet Our Staff
Our team works hard to make sure all of the children in our programmes have access to food every day. Thanks to a strong group of committed volunteers we are able to do all of this work with only five staff members. Meet the team!
