The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on global economies continues to have devastating consequences on families. South Africa's deteriorating food security is mainly driven by the COVID-19 pandemic and mitigation measures as well as high food prices, drought and economic decline. In the period (January - March 2021), 11.8 million people (20% of the analysed population) were expected to be in Crisis (IPC Phase 3).

WE ensure children and families have food and one less stress to worry about. If the children are fed, it is crucial to keep the poorest and most vulnerable in school while providing a boost to learning and health. Our food drives ensure that people of all religions, race and ethnicity are supported with basic food necessities. This has assisted children in completing their studies and in helping unemployed mothers cook healthy meals for their families.
Hope SA foundation is working on creating the next generation of meal programmes that are sustainable and effective.
