“We observed some of our learners starving, school uniforms in bad shape
and unable to pay school fees.”
Andile Nyanda
Kwa Ntebeni Comprehensive High School - Nyuswa
Why did we start this project.• No learner can
concentrate on an empty stomach!
• We felt ashamed and decided to do something.
• Because of our age we needed a mentor.
• After a few missed Wednesday meals from Richdens Spar, it finally came.
Our first food to feed the hungry
Tackling a problem – never give up!
• We discussed this with Mr Gwala, Headmaster of Kwantebeni, and he consented.
• We found a Mentor: Linda Locke.
• We went to Makhaphuthu Orphanage looking for help.
When did all this start?• During September/October 2011 we added a
new group.• Meetings were held and debates took place.• Makaphutu gives us soup to feed the starving –
once a week.• Sometimes we get bread from “Friends of the
Community” to add to the diet.
Our next step
• The starving children have hungry people at home.
• So, we started a vegetable garden, with sponsorship by Light Providers (NGO).
• We work it ourselves.• We feed more and more
people.
The Garden
• We, as Grade 11 learners are not only running this project, but are also establishing a vegetable garden.
• We do have problems, who doesn't? Ours are goats!!!!!! They love our vegetables so we need fencing urgently.
Industry is also getting involved.
One of our members, Sphelele Phewa’s mother works at a sock factory and her company sponsors school socks to boys and girls in need.
SOCKS FOR AFRICA (WATERFALL)
Who are we?
• Members: Andile Nyanda; Sizwe Ngwane; Cindy Mkhize; Linda Locke (Mentor).
• Our numbers grew: the feeding group; the garden group; a food rep. etc.
Founders
Kitchen Staff
The Secretary

What do we need?
• A container to run our soup kitchen.
• A refrigerator to keep things fresh.
• A stove to make more food.
• More food donations.• Uniforms, old or new. • Fruit and juice.• Money will be welcome.• More people who care.
One year – we achieved this!!
• Now we say thank you to all those involved in thought, help and prayer.
• Thank you to those that gave of their time, sweat and more.
• We look forward, onward and will conquer.
