Hundreds of children are going to school hungry, exhausted and poorly clothed because their parents are so strapped for cash. Starving pupils dressed in ­threadbare clothes and shabby shoes stealing food from classmates - it sounds like a scene from a horror movie,but this is the reality of life, there has been an increase in the number of pupils turning up to school without having eaten breakfast or dinner the night before.

 

Some are so hungry they have resorted to stealing food off others, some even stealing extra for later as their whole family are hungry.

None of this is because the parents are lacking in parental skills or are poor managers of their budget, as they have no budget to rely on or earn so little it is a daily struggle just to keep a roof over their children's heads, with living expenses going up and jobs getting cut on a regular basis. These children already suffers so much, when they get to school they get teased and bullied for not wearing the correct uniform and not having the necessary school needs, please help us make a change in a child's life. The children and families that we assist is located across South Africa.

 

If they have no or little lunch, we provide them with one but who knows what they get for dinner? And what happens in the holidays? That is why Helping Sa will be helping these children and their families with food parcels, furniture, clothing and whatever they may need we will also be assisting in helping to find the parents employment.

It Cost us +/- R1500 per month per family for their food parcel.
