Help us feed our children!
"We urge unemployed parents to come and assist us so that we are able to continue providing meals for these children. It is not about money, but giving back to the community, which we view as important."
For the past three years, Ammish Community Development has been providing food to unprivileged children in White City, Jabavu.
The aim is to minimise the rate of poverty and hunger within the community to needy children. They are feeding about 200 beneficiaries and work with five primary Schools in Jabavu and the surrounding areas.
Not only do they provide meals to the learners, they also provide after school programmes where they assist learners with their homework, offer life skills, and fun activities.
According to founder and project director of the organisation, Masishaba Mlotshwa they are currently facing challenges with regards to funding and staff are quitting because they do not have adequate financial resources.
Mlotshwa said that it gives them joy when they are able to put a smile on the children’s faces.
She said, “These children are future leaders which give us more passion to make sure that they always have food in their stomachs.
“We urge unemployed parents to come and assist us so that we are able to continue providing meals for these children. It is not about money, but giving back to the community, which we view as important.”
Mlotshwa added that Jabulani Sithole, Abdi Nasir Jeyte, Jabulani Bambanani and Mr Li Sun donate food parcels, money and Christmas presents and their contributions ensure that they are able to continue doing a marvellous job feeding the children.
The organisation’s name represents Action, Mentoring, Mission, Impact, Society, Home-based and they aim to empower the community and reduce hunger and poverty within their community. They are based at 388A Mphuthi Street in White City.
