Since 2005 The Lunchbox Fund (LBF) has responded to the education crisis faced by millions of children in South Africa by offering targeted nutrition in school and pre-school settings.
LBF is currently reaching 30,000 food-insecure children each school day nationwide.
Our nutrition offers a behavioural incentive for children to attend school and enables them to concentrate and learn while there.
We work in all provinces and settings: urban, peri-urban and rural; reaching children in pre-schools, primary and secondary schools and through after-school programs.
