They also continue to develop new ventures, including their ‘Caregiver Initiative’ that provides help wherever it is needed. Other exciting ventures include their corporate social investment partnerships and programmes.

This has boosted their donor base specifically in terms of perishables and non-perishables. This programme allows their corporate investors to make a difference in the lives of the community they serve and to assist MOWC SA in reaching its vision of a hunger-free South Africa.
