Fighting hunger. Building resilience.
Thembile Food Security SA NPC rescues and redistributes surplus food, grows community food gardens, teaches nutrition, and delivers emergency relief, so families across South Africa eat today, and can feed themselves tomorrow.
Immediate Relief. Lasting Resilience.
We pair the fastest, lowest-cost way to fight hunger (rescuing and redistributing surplus food) with the programmes that make communities self-reliant: food gardens and nutrition education. When crisis strikes, we're ready to respond.
Relief Today
We recover quality surplus food from farms, retailers and donors and get it to families fast.
Resilience Tomorrow
We train households and schools to grow their own food and manage it sustainably.
Ready For Crisis
We stockpile parcels and mobilise volunteers to respond fast to floods, drought and disaster.
