FEEDING CHILDREN

PSFA targets the poorest schools and provides nutritional meals, which the children enjoy very much.

The Menus

  • Mondays: Rice and Soy Relish
  • Tuesdays: Bread and Soy Relish
  • Wednesdays: Samp and Beans
  • Thursdays: Rice and Soy Relish
  • Fridays: Bread spread with peanut butter and jam, and served with a micronutrient enriched, soya-based milk drink

Our field workers visit schools frequently to monitor the preparation and serving, ensuring that our children receive their meal daily, early in the morning. The menu aims to provide 20-25% of a child's Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA).

HOW MANY CHILDREN ARE FED?

We currently feed 226,000 children in 630 primary, secondary and special-needs schools across the province. This number if made up as follows;

  • We receive a subsidy from the Department of Education's National School Nutrition Programme (NSNP) to feed 200,000 children in 540 schools.
  • In the NSNP schools, where the subsidy is insufficient, PSFA provides supplementary feeding to 10,000 children, from our own funds.
  • We also provide school feeding to 11,000 children in 81 schools that that fallen outside of the NSNP, but the children are non the less needy.
  • We are also conducting a pilot school feeding programme in the Eastern Cape, where we feed 5, 000 learners in 9 schools.
