Nourishing Lives One Meal at a Time
We create sustainable solutions for nutrition and food security within the communities we support through sustainable vegetable garden programs that create job opportunities, training facilities and nutritious vegetables for our Early Childhood Development Centres. The program also creates a platform empowering women to start their own micro vegetable market businesses.

ECDs in South Africa
Our core focus is to help end hunger by improving access to nutritious food for children between the ages of 0 and 6 by distributing packaged meals through our ECD Connect program. You can sponsor meals or a mico-garden that supports local ECDs. Contact us today to learn more!
Morning Star: Johannesburg
ECD Connect | Sustainable Farming
Morning Star is an early childhood development center enrolled in our ECD Connect program. What began as a humble single shack has blossomed over the years into a thriving educational hub, benefiting from a regular supply of fresh vegetables, complementing the nutritious meals provided by Rise Against Hunger Africa and contributing to the overall well-being of the children. By reducing the need for purchasing vegetables, participating ECDs collectively save an estimated R800.00 per month on food expenses, representing a financial benefit and a step toward a self-sufficient and resilient community.
