As part of
Orion Software's social awareness campaign we will be supporting a charity
for a financial year. We extend an invitation to you to join
us as we support this year's charity and various others in future years
in order to help bring upliftment to society in South Africa.
We welcome your
suggestions for any other charities to be supported in the future.
This year the
Children's Feeding Trust will be the beneficiary of our
campaign.
"A
child free of hunger is a healthy child and a
healthy child makes for a hopeful future.”
The Children’s Feeding Fund was
established in 1958 and was then known as The School Feeding Fund.
From it’s inception, the fund had an enthusiastic and devoted band
of volunteers and thanks to their fundraising efforts, they were
feeding 10 000 children within the first year.

The fund's family
continued to grow and by 1995, 37 years after it's founding, they
were feeding 47 000 children at 90 schools every day.
Subsequently,
government has taken over the responsibility of the school feeding
fund and hence the formation of The Children’s Feeding Trust.
The purpose of the Children’s Feeding
Trust is to support a variety of charities who are conducting feeding schemes.
The following charities are being
supported by The Children's Feeding Trust:
-
The House of Resurrection Haven
-
The Yokhuselo Haven
