Nutrition Education

Knowledge that stretches every meal, and every rand.

About This Activity

Healthier Choices, Every Day

We run practical workshops on balanced diets, food preparation and child nutrition, delivered through the schools and clinics families already visit, for the widest possible reach.

Sessions are hands-on: budgeting for a week of meals, cooking with what's affordable and in season, and recognising the signs of malnutrition in children early.

This is the lowest-cost activity in our model, and one of the most sustainable: knowledge, once shared, keeps working long after we've left the room.

How It Works

  • We partner with schools and clinics to host regular workshops.
  • Sessions cover balanced diets, food preparation and child nutrition.
  • Take-home guides help households apply what they've learned.
  • We work alongside our garden and redistribution teams for practical follow-through.

Who It Helps

Parents, caregivers and school-going children reached through clinic and classroom-based sessions.
