Over 10 600 food parcels handed over to learners and their families
4 December 2013
Tiger Brands, in partnership with the Department of Basic Education and the Nelson Mandela Foundation, initiated a food parcel distribution programme to support learners and their families throughout the December school holiday period.
A total of 10 620 food parcels have been distributed in KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo and the Eastern Cape, into the beneficiary schools of the Tiger Brands Foundation in-school breakfast feeding programme.
The initiative forms part of a holistic approach to maintaining nutrition levels in our most disadvantaged communities.
The distribution created a logistical challenge, owing to the very rural and remote locations of the schools, and the food parcels were distributed over a four-day period commencing on 30 November and culminating in a final handover on Wednesday 4 December 2013 at Nonesi Senior Primary School in Lady Frere, Eastern Cape.
