Feed a Child Famine and poverty are sad realities in this world, and that includes Africa. While drought is an act of nature, famine is man-made! Poverty affects people from all demographic groups throughout Africa, and does not exclude Southern Africa. We are confronted on a daily basis by yet another beggar on the street corner. We have become so used to these frequent displays of poverty that our senses have been dulled to a point where we actually don’t pay any attention anymore. It is not always because we do not care; it is just that the problem has become so great that we feel helpless and don’t know what to do about it. Feed a Child is a registered national NGO with the mission to create a sustainable culture that can positively impact the economy of the communities and its people. Feed a Child’s vision is to provide a sustainable solution to uplift communities devastated by poverty. The principles and core values that Feed a Child follows on a daily basis to keep them focused on the greater goals are prayer, service, encouragement, sharing and growth. There are many people in the world who are willing to assist; people who have the heart to make a difference in the needy communities out there. Unfortunately, due to work or financial pressure and/or time constraints, most of us are not able to get out into these communities to make a difference ourselves. It is also a sad fact that many efforts are ineffective as they are done on an ad-hoc basis and are not sustainable. Although the heart and willingness to make a difference is commendable, an effective vehicle is needed to make a difference on an on-going basis. Feed a Child provides this opportunity. Feed a Child not only provides the sustainability, but also the tools needed. There is a saying that goes: "Do not only give people fish to eat. Give them a rod and teach them to catch fish!" It is widely recognised that poor communities should not only rely on handouts. They should be provided with means to help themselves alleviate their poverty. One of the organisation’s most successful programmes in this field is to provide impoverished communities with vegetable tunnels. This is only done once funding has been obtained to sustain the project for a year. The focus is mainly on children, dividing the community into economic project blocks of 50 people or beneficiaries. This is to keep matters simple and easy as the vegetable tunnels can provide for a group of 50.
