Sponsors will soon see the fruits of their support for the Banana Appeal
By supporting the Banana Appeal, sponsors can help provide one million meals to hungry children in Zululand, South Africa - and impress their suppliers, motivate their staff and win more business: cost £60,000.
Banana Appeal has provided over a million school meals to malnourished children and AIDS orphans over the last five years through its food to school schemes in Zululand, South Africa.
These schemes not only feed the children but also help many attend school, where they gain a vital education. Today the charity supplies over 1,600 meals daily through schools, providing 1,100 children with fruit each day and over five hundred children with a hot meal of rice and beans (or similar).
The charity is on a mission to deliver one million school meals a year, to help the forgotten children and orphans of Zululand. This may sound expensive, but, at only 6p per day, £60,000 will pay for a million meals of fruit. At only 10p per day to feed a hot meal, £100,000 provides a million school meals of rice and beans (or similar).
Over 2.5 million South African children are orphans and it is predicted that 32% of South African children will be orphans by 2015 due to AIDS. Today South Africa has the largest HIV population on earth. Each orphan is left to a terrible fate, often in abject poverty.
Future
By providing malnourished children with food security at school, Banana Appeal can help remove them from begging or worse, allow them to attend school and give the hope of a better future.
It also operates numerous schemes through SavetheZulu.org, including child sponsorship.
"We are in the process of setting up a sports academy in Zululand and need £10k for this - and our ultimate goal is to set up the world's largest child sanctuary, caring for thousands of children. This project will cost £2.3 million. Our work has been featured on radio in the UK, South Africa and Canada, in papers and magazines in the UK and South Africa and on UK TV.
We seek private and corporate sponsors to help expand our work".
