Salute Africa
Project #1
FEEDSA is a non-profit organization whose main aim is to establish feeding programs within townships. These feeding programs are aimed at those who receive no other forms of funding. They also implement the building and setting up of creche from the infrastructure to operations, teacher training and teaching curriculum. FEEDSA works hands-on in the townships on a grass roots level, sourcing their beneficiaries through prominent and reliable contacts within the communities.
Project #2
The Masibulele Educare Centre in Khayelitsha, Cape Town, supports 140 children from ages 5 through 15 years old. Salute Africa supports the school as part of the #letsbuildmasibulele – a collaborative project under taken by a variety of stakeholders who have come together to rebuild a school that has been deemed structurally unsafe.
Our Mission is to build a community of empowered individuals who will impact the future. This can only be achieved if one can learn in a space that meets their physical, emotional and intellectual needs.
Initiatives Supported
Listed on this page are the specific needs requested by the community project(s) so you can choose exactly what to pack for a purpose and express your gratitude to the local community with the supplies you take them. If you prefer, you may reach out directly to them to inquire about items which may be available for purchase locally. Arranging visits to community projects is beyond the scope of our mission. If you wish to visit a project, contact the participant and they can let you know what is possible.
Candy and balloons are not on the needs list as they are harmful for the children and the environment for the following reasons:
• Few of the children benefiting from these projects have access to toothpaste, toothbrushes, or a dentist. The candy promotes cavities.
• The balloons once they become deflated are a choking hazard for local wildlife.
Instead of taking candy or balloons, use that space for additional requested supplies, as they are priceless.
