creche feeding project
Amaoti is a large informal community located less than 15 minutes drive from Durban North and Umhlanga where poverty, unemployment and HIV/AIDS are rife and the number of orphans and child-headed households increase daily.We provide a nutritious meal to children at crèches every week day, which has proved to encourage attendance. By partnering with another non-profit organization that focuses on teacher-training and improving the physical condition of these crèches, we aim to create a positive environment for the children to play and learn, preparing them for formal education.

food for thought school sandwich project
Indlela’s ‘Food for Thought’ project provides sandwiches every day for school children at Durban North schools who would otherwise have no lunch. Participating schools identify children who need feeding and distribute the sandwiches delivered by Indlela. As the numbers of volunteers and donors grow, we move closer to realizing our dream of a community where no child is too hungry to concentrate and learn.

Indlela has a fully-equipped industrial kitchen and storeroom on the Church of the Good Shepherd’s premises, which allows easy access to volunteers and donors. A dedicated vehicle and driver ensures that a reliable delivery service is provided. Under the efficient management of Yvonne Haviland, the kitchen is staffed by groups of volunteers who work in shifts to prepare sandwiches and soup.
