Africa Food for Thought is a non-profit organization that aims to provide nutrition to school children in order to promote concentration and learning.

4. The estimated proportions of
deaths in which
malnutrition is an
underlying cause are
roughly similar for
diarrhoea (61%),
malaria (57%),
pneumonia
(52%),
and measles
(45%).
(Black 2003, Bryce 2005)

5. Malnutrition
magnifies the effect
of disease.

6. By causing poor health, low levels
of energy, and even mental
impairment, hunger can
lead to even greater
poverty by reducing
people's ability to work
and learn.

8. We are a non-profit
organisation that aims to
provide nutrition to
school children in
order to promote
concentration and
learning.

9. Based on the West Rand
(Jhb, SA), we help to feed nearly
14 000 children
on a daily basis in areas like
Kagiso, Dobsonville, Muldersdrift,
Thsepisong West, Slovoville.

18. We currently support
92 households with
orphans and/or vulnerable
children by providing food
for the whole family.

19. School teachers refer
children in the most
desperate circumstances
to this programme.

20. Our volunteers visit the
children once a month
when they deliver the food.
Real relationships take
shape over time.

21. This has resulted in many
other forms of support like
hospital visits and attending
graduations.

22. If we want to have a different
kind of adult, we need to
provide our children with a
different kind of childhood.

23. From our OVC
programme has
grown:

24. Helping our children to
study and train after
leaving school.

25. A recent addition to this trust is
the Peter France Bursary,
provided through
the generosity of
the France family and
several sponsors.

26. Poverty is not an accident.
Like slavery and
apartheid, it is man-made
and can be removed by the
actions of human beings.
– Nelson Mandela
