Food Poverty in South Africa
By supporting The Open Kitchen, you help ensure that the poor and vulnerable don't go to bed hungry. Contribute today and make a difference by feeding those in need!
Over half of the South African population lives below the poverty line, and millions struggle to afford food daily. Economic hardships have exacerbated food insecurity, leaving many South Africans facing severe hunger.
To address this critical issue, Muslim Hands established a community kitchen to provide nutritious food to those in need. The Open Kitchen offers warm meals to the homeless, elderly, and disabled who cannot afford food on their own. By supporting The Open Kitchen, you can help provide essential meals to vulnerable individuals and make a meaningful difference in their lives.
“I Had Nothing to Eat”
“Sometimes we worry where our next plate of food will come from and we go to sleep hungry” -Anthony
Anthony is a 64-year-old man who lives with his two grandchildren in Manenberg, Western Cape. The family lives in a rented wendy house in extremely impoverished conditions. They struggle to source food daily as Anthony has been unemployed for the past five years due to his chronic illness.
Through The Open Kitchen, Anthony and his grandchildren now receive warm nutritious meals on a regular basis, ensuring the family does not go to sleep hungry.
“I want to say thank you very much. You have put a smile on my grandchildren’s faces today. We won’t have to go to sleep hungry tonight. May God bless each one of you” - Anthony
