Operation Hunger

Mission Statement: To create partnerships between vulnerable households and caring people to combat malnutrition which, when suffered by children, undermines the nation’s health, education and economic potential. As such, Operation Hunger concentrates its efforts in marginalised communities serving ‘the poorest of the poor’.

Operation Hunger promotes and participates in sustainable self-help projects that contribute towards the quality of life and independence of individuals and communities.

Specific community based projects include:
- Targeted family feeding;
- Soup kitchens, community kitchens and food gardens, to assist communities in self-help food provision;
- Water projects;
- Creche projects;
- Income generating projects such as bakery projects, poultry projects and brick-making projects;
- Sanitation and health and hygiene projects;
- Wellness programmes.
