The Future
Food and Nutrition
This sack contains spinach, beetroot, lettuce, spring onions and kale (cabbage)
As part of our new food garden programme with the The Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund that we began in late 2021, our goal for 2022 is to start the gardens in people’s private gardens. Until now the gardens have all been in communal areas.
In addition we will also take measurements of the health characteristics of participants, such as their height and weight, and compare these from before and after the project. Staff will carry out an educational campaign to draw attention to the nutrition benefits of the leafy vegetables, for adults and children including breast-feeding mothers; and the benefit of saving money on buying food.
Many clients haven´t eaten in days, and advice office staff provide them with food, clothes and toys when they can.
If you can help, please contact our Head Office or an advice office directly to request banking details or more information. Even the smallest donation is appreciated.
