Since launching the Breakfast For Better Days Programme™ in 2014, Kellogg’s has served 12.5 million breakfasts.

Kellogg’s serves Corn Flakes and milk for breakfast to approximately 25 000 learners at 43 schools in four provinces every school day.

This equates to 2.5 million breakfasts with 150 000kg of Kellogg’s Corn Flakes and 500 000 litres of milk a year.

Letsa Primary School in Daveyton enjoyed breakfast provided by Kellogg’s in commemoration of World Hunger Day on May 28. Grade One learners Lefa Phaladi (7), Lesego Mnguni (administrator) and Gomolemo Motsamai (6) enjoyed the breakfast.

Kellogg’s head of external relations Zandile Mposelwa said Kellogg’s recognises that alleviating hunger is more than food, but about enabling children’s potential.

“At Kellogg’s, we are driving growth through purpose. We are helping to create better days and alleviate hunger,” said Mposelwa.

“We aim to create three billion better days globally by the end of 2025.”

Mposelwa said principals and teachers of the schools participating in the Breakfast for Better Days Programme have reported that since the start of the programme at their schools, learner absenteeism and late-coming has reduced, while class participation has improved.
