“If you can’t feed a hundred people then feed just one.”

According to the latest University of Cape Town report, 3 out of 4 children go hungry every day because 30% of our population live in poverty with food insecurity. This results in lack of concentration in school or children up not coming to school. We sat down with the spokesperson of Peninsula School Feeding Association which was formed in 1958 as an aid to reduce short term hunger thus enhancing children’s ability to learn through school feeding and increase school attendance. PSFA addresses hunger in students attending primary, secondary and special needs schools as well as Orphaned & Vulnerable Children Centres (OVCs), Early Childhood Development Centres (ECDs) and Technical and Vocational Education and Training Colleges (TVETS) in the Western Province. With 61 years of experience, the Peninsula School Feeding Association has managed to feed 26 433 children with 163 schools on their  feeding programme.
