This project main priority is to provide a healthy meal to all our children that costs around $10,000 a day to feed almost 9,000 children across all our project, we are not able to do this yet but we hope with your support we will soon. We also hold 30% of donations raised to build a longer term sustainable solution within the communities by building veggie gardens, aquaponic systems in water deprived communities and fund chicken farms to we can take the food bill down to zero and feed our children in a sustainable way. We have already funded 5 Aquaponic systems, 2 veggies gardens and 1 chicken farm that are now self sustainable and generating food for the children.

South Africa has been facing a water crisis for many years and the effects of this have been amplified due to high demand for water and climate change. Unfortunately, because of poor infrastructure and many people living in informal/ rural settlements, water distribution is also incredibly unequal which further adds to inequality and is harmful to people who rely on agriculture for an income and to provide for their communities.

We also face similar challenges in Zimbabwe, Brazil, Costa Rica, Laos, Thailand, India, Sri Lanka and Kenya. Working with schools across all these countries one day we hope to raise enough funds to feed all 50,000 children we are currently supporting.

Providing daily meals helps children learn and fights poverty and hunger, however it is not sustainable. Therefore we use a 70/30 model that 70% of your donations purchases a meal today for a child and 30% goes into our long term sustainable solution which is funding schohol and community chicken farms and install Aquaponic veggies gardens to give the community a long term sustainable solution.

What is Aquaponics? It is an Innovative agricultural solutions use integrated organic farming systems that combine vermiculture, aquaponics and small livestock to provide higher yield with fewer resources. The system only needs 10% of the water normally used for gardening, making it possible to farm even during extreme drought. By developing this system at schools, teachers get the opportunity to use it as practical teaching material, feed their students or sell the crop produced to generate income and be self-sufficient.

By providing schools and institutions with solutions which provides a high yield of produce regardless of soil and rainfall, schools in Africa will no longer be reliant on outside support. This will reduce the need for funding to purchase school resources, and the support required for feeding programs. In addition, it will reduce the pressure on the planet as water will be recycled and the clean water can rather be used for drinking and sanitation.
