One of the Fund’s Success Story

​In order to reduce poverty, malnutrition and improved food security the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund through its partner organisation known as Fanang Diatla Self-Help Project started a bakery in the area of Ga-Mathabathe in the Limpopo province.
Currently the bakery provides bread and other bakery produce to local shops, spaza shops and donates some products to the needy within the community. Bakery produce are also used by schools as part of the government’s schools feeding programme.

​Before the bakery was established, community members, teachers and principals of the schools reported showed that the level of concentration from the malnourished pupils was of great concern, and the food from the bakery has made a tremendous difference in the lives of children.
