These are the Organisations Making Sure Everyone Has A Meal to Eat

by | | These are the Organisations Making Sure Everyone Has A Meal to Eat

Millions of South Africans go to bed either hungry or malnourished; these organisations are making sure families have at least one good meal to get by.

South Africa (28 January 2024) – Feeding schemes and organisations come and go in South Africa as funding is found or dried out. Sadly, over the years, our charity list related to a single meal or huge food parcels has dwindled, and this year, it is the smallest yet – BUT there are still organisations filling the hunger gap, making sure people have food to eat.

If we have missed an organisation or charity, please email tyler@goodthingsguy.com and we will add it soonest; kindly supply the relevant links as well as which province they work in, the NPO/NGO/NPC registration details and a brief description of what the organisation does.

Please note that this is a working list, so keep sending through your charities, and we will keep adding them!

Kindness Like Confetti (KLC) have launched a campaign to help bring the end of period poverty to 500 young ladies in the Gauteng area.

Johannesburg, South Africa (06 May 2024) – Period poverty is rife in South Africa, where families have to choose between putting a meal on the table versus purchasing menstrual hygiene products. In these cases, food always wins and young ladies going through their regular cycles, have to make other plans or skip school. Kindness Like Confetti (KLC) is working to end period poverty for 500 young ladies this World Menstrual Hygiene Day.

The day was initiated in 2013 by a German-based organisation, WASH United, as a way to raise awareness for young women who had limited access to good hygienic options.
