Another delivery of 1.1 ton of fresh Carp fish to Oudtshoorn was made possible thanks to our refrigeration trailer sponsored by The Oceana Group. The trailer makes it possible for Gift Of The Givers to do long distance deliveries as the fish needs to be within a temperature of zero and nine degrees celius, when distributed to the communities. To date, since the start of the project in 2022, more than 174 000 people benefited from these high protein fish. The project originated when Gift Of The Givers, Invasive Fish Species Managent and Cape Nature joined heads together during the start of Covid-19 to not only assist to alleviate hunger, but furthermore to assist to restore the eco balance within the Groenvlei lake.

Fred Magardie Primary School is located in Eesterust, #pretoria📍, an area characterised by poverty, with many parents facing unemployment. The school was originally designed for 700 students but due to these economic challenges, the school now accommodates 1400 learners. The school operates a kitchen that provides meals to 900 students who rely on the feeding programme.

Gift of the Givers team conducted an assessment at Fred Margadie Primary School and identified several challenges. Among these challenges, the school faced a shortage of food and utensils, resulting in students eating in groups. Additionally, their kitchen was too small to adequately serve the number of learners.In response, the Gift of the Givers team provided food and detergents in bulk to assist the school in addressing these pressing challenges.To contribute towards our interventions visit:🌐 : www.giftofthegivers.org/make-a-difference📞 : 0800 786 911#GiftoftheGivers #MakeADifference #forthegreatergood #HungerAlleviation #sa #southafrica ...
