Peninsula School Feeding Association (PSFA) is a registered Non-Profit Organisation, established in 1958 when the previous Government discontinued school feeding. For more than 50 years, PSFA has been providing meals to hungry children in primary, secondary and special-needs schools and other educational institutions.
PSFA has Section 18A status, which makes all donations tax deductible.
Our Mission
To combat the prevalence of hunger in children attending schools or other educational institutions in the Western Cape, through school feeding and development initiatives, that will promote self-sufficiency and household food security.
Our Aims Include:
- the reduction of short-term hunger
- the provision of school feeding to enhance childrenís ability to learn
- increasing learner attendance at school
- the promotion of parental participation at school
- the promotion of food/vegetable gardens to improve household food security
With a constituted mission to "improve the general health and welfare of school children" (PSFA's Constitution, 2(a)), PSFA addresses the fundamental human need for food and sustenance.
In the face of diminishing government allocations to address school feeding, PSFA envisages an even stronger imperative for it to exist as a non-profit organisation, providing this grassroots service.
PSFA is an established, audited, non-profit organisation, with a 50 year track record in the feeding of under-privileged school children, and the only organisation in the country established to specifically and comprehensively address hunger in children attending primary schools, high schools and special schools.
