The foundation’s executive, Warren Farrer, said, “One of the biggest challenges facing our nation today is the constant plight of hunger and the shortage of food. According to the United Nations, more than two million South Africans survive on only one meal a day! Over 2.5 million children in our country are living below the food poverty line. You may ask yourself: “What can be meaningfully done to address this issue? How do we go about changing this reality? Where do we start?'”
Whether you’re rolling up your sleeves and grabbing a butter knife, spreading the word on your social media pages, or helping to create awareness by joining the conversation online, the NPO encourages you to become involved.
