The Peninsula School Feeding Association, a 67-year-old non-profit, provides daily meals to 30,000 children across nearly 400 schools in the Western Cape, addressing widespread hunger and supporting education. Founded in 1958 by the Rotary Club, the organization combats malnutrition while boosting school attendance and learning outcomes. A recent visit by US students highlighted its personal impact and operational resilience.
