Meals 4 All project

The Meals programs has been playing an important role in the community of Kliptown with the other surrounding communities by providing 3 meals a day for our young people, without checking were you come from and what you have but we were able to cater for these young people to have a better future and know that they have access to meals for the whole day.

Our numbers have been going up since last year, the number of Volunteers as well as we really need more helping hands. We are currently working with kids from Kliptown, Dlamini and Pimville. The kids from other communities usually get the lunch boxes from school in the office after we have dropped them off.

 Currently we have a number of 420 young people and more keep on coming but due to shortage of space we have to turn down some applications. Our meals for all program caters for +/- 400 meals for Breakfast, we give lunch boxes if all the kids are going to school, then we dish out +/- 400 plates for lunch before the kids start their program and their homework.

Meals one of the struggles of life in the disadvantaged community of Kliptown after the Pandemic of Covid19, it is also one of the struggles of life in Kliptown is inadequate nutrition for growing young bodies. With the high rate of unemployment in the community of Kliptown, some families cannot provide 3 meals a day for their families which is a huge problem for especially for our young people who are still in school. We as Each One Teach One have created this kind of a program that helps to support disadvantaged families who have kids.

MEALS 4 ALL- targeting young people who are going to school, providing them with lunch boxes and 3 meals a day for each child and as well as other members of the community that faces the same problem and challenges, the aim for such programs is to become supportive figures and never turn a blind eye on such situations and also to meet the needs of other disadvantaged families through providing thing such as the school uniform for kids.

In the morning before they go to school they eat breakfast, after breakfast they get their lunch boxes for lunch at school, after school they also eat their last meals for the day. These meals really play an important role in our community because some of the kids really come from poor backgrounds whereby they only eat once and that only at night.

Starting 2022 with a number of 320 young people, the number was going up each and every day due to the support and attention we have been giving to the kids. Some people even requested a short presentation for the work we have been for the past years before they could register their kids with the centre. Currently we have a number of 380 young people and more keep on coming but due to shortage of space we have to turn down some applications.

Our meals for all program caters for +/- 300 meals for Breakfast, we give out 380 lunch boxes if all the kids are going to school, then we dish out +/- 300 plates for lunch before the kids start their program and their homework. Please see pictures in the second last page.

The Pandemic has created high rate of unemployment and leaving a lot of families in huge challenges, some lost their jobs and others can’t even start from where they left. The meals programs have played a huge role in supporting the community of Kliptown and its people, from January until now we have worked hand in hand with the leadership of Kliptown, the local counselor and many more stakeholders in community of Kliptown who want to help in these hard times. With one of the other organizations’, we have worked with we tried our level best in giving our youth as much support as we can. Since we have been getting more and more young people who want to join our program, we have agreed to send some of the kids to their center as they don’t have any young people. Currently we are providing meals to a number of + 255 young people from the community of Kliptown and some of the young people who got referred to us by schools we introduce them to the Freedom Park community project that we are currently working with. We prepare 300 meals for lunch and also 300 lunch boxes daily to accommodate as much young people as we can. Support a Child program: Support a child program was created to help young people who come from disadvantaged backgrounds, mostly with families that no one is working or not even receiving social grants from the government. Our plan was to help support in a way of providing them with groceries and clothes for the kids mostly in a way that they also get to belong as well. Currently we are working with 50 families from the community of Kliptown and we are also aiming to support as much families as we can in the future.
