Who We Are
weFEEDsa is a non-profit organisation that was born out of necessity during South Africa’s 2020 COVID-19 lockdown. What began as a grassroots response by a group of volunteers—men, women, and children—quickly grew into a movement, united by the urgent need to feed vulnerable communities. At the height of the lockdown, weFEEDsa was providing up to 12,000 meals a day for 3 months to various lockdown sites in Kwazulu-Natal.
Since then, weFEEDsa has evolved into a collaborative force, working alongside NPOs, CBOs, government departments, and corporate partners to empower and uplift disadvantaged communities. At the heart of our mission is a commitment to addressing South Africa’s high unemployment rate by creating opportunities that restore dignity and self-reliance.
We are driven by the belief that no one should go to bed hungry—whether it’s hunger for food, education, opportunity, or a simple act of kindness.
What We Do
At weFEEDsa, our goal is to reduce dependency and foster self-sufficiency within communities by focusing on employment creation through education and empowerment. We approach these pillars in a broader, more inclusive way than the traditional model of primary and tertiary schooling alone.
In addition to formal education, we facilitate learning and development through sports programmes, SETA-accredited learnerships, and hands-on, work-based training initiatives. These practical and accessible interventions help individuals develop real-world skills that lead to sustainable growth—for themselves and their communities.
By prioritising education and empowerment, we’re not just alleviating immediate needs—we’re building pathways to long-term change.
Our Mission:
To serve humanity, to improve and uplift lives In South Africa.
At weFEEDsa, our mission is to serve humanity with compassion and integrity by improving and uplifting lives across South Africa. We are committed to addressing hunger, poverty, and inequality through sustainable, community-driven initiatives that restore dignity, inspire hope, and foster resilience. Guided by the principles of empathy, collaboration, and social justice, we strive to nourish both body and spirit—empowering individuals and communities to thrive.
Our Vision:
A nourished, educated, empowered and proud South Africa.
We envision a South Africa where every person is nourished, educated, and empowered to live with dignity and purpose. A nation where communities thrive, pride is restored, and the cycle of poverty is broken through collective action and compassion.
