Vryburger launches feeding scheme
Using donated non-perishable food items from parents, community members, and local businesses, the team ensures that every child in need receives sustenance on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
Vryburger High School launched a feeding scheme on February 9.
The feeding scheme is to ensure learners receive nutritious meals three days a week.
Spearheaded by the school’s deputy principal, Stephanie Diedericks, and educator Fana Moyo, the programme promises to make a significant difference in the lives of learners.

Central to the success of this initiative is the donation from Idemia, led by Linda Scheepers and Thulani Masondo.
The company specialises in biometric security solutions, which sponsored a range of appliances essential for the scheme’s operation.
These appliances not only streamline the cooking process but also contribute to the efficiency and sustainability of the programme.
Idemia’s corporate social responsibility committee extended its support beyond the provision of equipment.
“They have also sponsored garden tools to facilitate the cultivation of vegetables within the school’s premises.
