An egg a day keeps hunger at bay

Most of us can’t imagine taking food from a hungry child’s mouth. But that’s what’s happened to the orphans and vulnerable children of Esikhawini near Empangeni, on the Zululand coast of South Africa.

Hundreds of boys and girls will go hungry today…unless you help feed them now.

At the Esikhawini feeding scheme, 100 chickens were producing hundreds of eggs every day, which could feed the children and be sold to the community…until all of the chickens were stolen.

Will you help us to rebuild this vital food supply and feed an orphan today?

Before someone took all the chickens away, the sale of the eggs was sustaining the feeding scheme. With your support, we could get this project up and running again.

There’s nothing worse than having to look a child in the eye and tell them that their food’s gone.

Your generosity today would help us to reinforce the chicken coop security, as well as buy new chickens and feed.The Esikhawini orphans feeding scheme is dying. Please help us to bring it back to life.
