No Child Should Learn Hungry
H.E.R is helping vulnerable children access nutritious food and essential support so hunger does not determine their ability to learn, grow and dream.
A hungry child cannot simply switch hunger off when the school bell rings.
Child malnutrition remains a serious challenge in South Africa. In the 2026 State of the Nation Address, government said more than a quarter of children under five are stunted and announced a national effort to tackle child malnutrition and stunting.
South Africa has substantial public nutrition programmes, including R11 billion allocated to the National School Nutrition Programme for 2026/27. Yet vulnerable families and young children continue to require additional community support.
H.E.R wants to work at that community level through nutritional assistance, food parcels, school-support initiatives and partnerships that reach vulnerable children and their caregivers.
Food is more than something placed on a plate. For a developing child, nutrition affects health, concentration, development and opportunity.
A full stomach gives a child the freedom to concentrate on being a child.
