Our Focus Groups
VULNERABLE, DEPRIVED CHILDREN
HOMELESS, INDIGENT, UNEMPLOYED
VULNERABLE, DEPRIVED CHILDREN
We are dedicated to supporting and caring for children by ensuring they have full tummies and a safe, nurturing environment at our center. Each day, we prepare nutritionally balanced meals, providing the essential nourishment they need to grow and thrive.
At our center, vulnerable children receive daily care and support, five days a week. On any given day, we welcome approximately 30 to 50 children, offering them not only meals but also a sense of security, belonging, and community.
By addressing their basic needs and creating a safe space, we empower these children to focus on their well-being, education, and personal growth. Yeoville Johannesburg
SENIOR CITIZENS / PENSIONERS
HOMELESS, INDIGENT, UNEMPLOYED
VULNERABLE, DEPRIVED CHILDREN
We deliver freshly prepared meals to senior citizens in the surrounding areas, ensuring they receive nutritious, cooked food daily. These meals are not just about sustenance—they are a source of joy and comfort for our seniors, who greet us with warmth and gratitude upon our arrival.
Beyond providing meals, we bring a sense of security and companionship to senior citizens who often face loneliness and lack regular social interaction. Our visits are an opportunity for meaningful conversations, offering them much-needed emotional support and a friendly presence.
Our dedicated volunteers travel to the homes of our beneficiaries, delivering meals, checking in on their well-being, and providing care. For many, this visit is more than just a delivery—it is a lifeline, a moment of connection, and a reminder that they are not alone. These beneficiaries rely on us daily. We are based in Yeoville, Johannesburg
CHRONICALLY ILL

HOMELESS, INDIGENT, UNEMPLOYED
Chronically ill patients visit our facility daily to receive a nutritious meal and the support they need to maintain their wellness. Our meals for elderly is of proper nutrition, essential to their overall health and plays a vital role in their recovery and quality of life.
In addition to serving those at the facility, we extend our care to elderly pensioners, individuals with disabilities, and indigent persons by delivering meals directly to their homes. Our dedicated team of volunteers ensures these vulnerable groups receive freshly prepared meals and food parcels tailored to their needs.
Our volunteers go beyond meal delivery—they bring compassion, support, and care to those who need it most. By visiting beneficiaries’ homes, they provide not only nourishment but also a sense of connection and reassurance to those facing difficult circumstances.
