Help Empangeni NPO fill empty tummies

The ever-rising cost of living is a crisis affecting the most vulnerable – rural households with growing schoolchildren to feed.

Noticing how this is affecting the youngsters who make use of their coding and robotics after-school programme, the I Learn to Live – Ngifundela Ukuphila NPO based outside Empangeni has launched a feeding scheme and appeals to supporters to help them feed hungry children.

By 2.30pm, the children’s stomachs are grumbling and learning is not a top priority.

To alleviate this hunger, the NPO has worked out that it will cost R5 000 per month to give 200 children peanut butter and jam sandwiches as a light snack before lessons start.

This equates to just R25 per child, and the NPO’s founder, Ashling McCarthy hopes to get enough supporters on board to make it work.
