Join the Million Meals Campaign to Feed Vulnerable Children Across South Africa

South African non-profit organization, Outside the Bowl Africa (OTB Africa), recently held a successful outreach event at the Mickey Mouse Early Childhood Development (ECD) centre in Paarl, showcasing its ongoing commitment to providing nutritious meals to needy children. This special event, made possible through a partnership with Feed the Nation Foundation and Pick n Pay, distributed healthy snacks and joy-filled gifts to the children, sparking excitement for OTB Africa’s ambitious Million Meals Campaign.

The event celebrated the importance of community and partnerships. Each child at Mickey Mouse ECD received a package that included a VitaKidz cookie, VitaKidz porridge, a joy bracelet, and a Maxi Blend Amazing Meals pack. It was a heartwarming occasion that highlighted OTB Africa’s dedication to making nutritious support more accessible to South Africa’s most vulnerable children.

OTB Africa is inviting the public to join its current Million Meals Campaign – which runs into the first week of December – aiming to make a difference this Christmas season in South Africa. This vital initiative aims to provide one million meals to vulnerable children across South Africa, including Paarl, Stellenbosch, Cape Town, and other communities in need such as Durban, Johannesburg, and Port Elizabeth.
Be Part of the Million Meals Campaign – and Win a Car!

For just R150, you can feed 20 children and make a direct impact. Every R150 contribution also qualifies donors for a chance to win a 2024 Suzuki Swift GL AMT, proudly assisted by Suzuki PAARL, making each donation a powerful opportunity to change lives and potentially drive away with a new car.

Loren Erasmus, Executive Director at Outside the Bowl Global, shares the vision behind the campaign: “Partnerships form the cornerstone of any successful venture, and we are thrilled to expand our efforts to nourish and uplift communities on a national scale. Through collaboration with Feed the Nation Foundation and support from our donors, we are setting the stage to ensure that no child goes hungry.”

With every donation, OTB Africa moves closer to its goal of reaching one million meals—a milestone that would have a transformative impact on the lives of children who rely on these meals for essential nutrition. “It’s about creating moments that matter and building a future where all children have the nourishment they need to thrive,” says Erasmus.
