Formerly known as the African Children's Feeding Scheme, the ACFS has come a long way since the late Bishop Trevor Huddleston started the original peanut butter sandwich at schools in 1945.

Today, we pursue seven separate but inter-related activities aimed at uplifting and empowering communities in Soweto, Kagiso, Alexandra, Thembisa, Daveyton, Kwa Thema and Tsakane.

We provide 31 500 children with milk and a peanut butter sandwich daily and, whilst this remains our core focus, we also work to promote healthy, contributing citizens who are economically viable and self sufficient, through:

It couldn't be easier to support your favouite charity, than by getting a MySchool/ MyVillage Card, with ACFS as the beneficiary, and swiping it every time you shop at Woolworths, Reggies and other participating stores. The card won't cost you a cent
– but ACFS will receive a percentage of the value of goods purchased.


Little girlThembi* had only just joined our Malnutrition Rehabilitation Centre in Alexandra when she fell ill - and we were broken hearted when her family called to give us the news of her death.

No one wants to lose a child to starvation, especially when help is at hand.

Another little girl, Abigail, came to the Alexandra feeding scheme at the same time as Thembi. She was also seriously malnourished.

But Abigail joined us in time for the food and care to have a beneficial effect. Thanks to the nourishing meals provided by friends like you, her life's turned onto a different path. She's slowly gaining weight and there's a sparkle in her eyes.

It just goes to show, your gift today can alter the course of a child's life.

So please, will you help now?



Thanks to an extremely generous US$30 000 donation from The Prem Rawat Foundation in Los Angeles, USA, the year got off to a great start for 500 students at Emndeni Senior Secondary School, who will receive a nutritious cooked lunch daily for the next six months. [more ...]

We recently received a stack of thankyou letters from some of the 1 500 children we feed every day at our Meadowlands Centre in Soweto[more ...]

Six of our young girls were given the amazing opportunity to go to India in July, thanks to the Sai Baba group.[more ...]
