Fifteen years ago, Charles Luyckx (from Class IV: Kalipha) and Gary Campbell (from Class III: Seriti), identified a missing link in the South African education system. That link was nutrition.
FUEL is an acronym that stands for Feed. Educate. Uplift. Love. FUEL is a fully funded non-profit initiative that collaborates with the South African government to feed our school children and transform the way they learn.
FUEL’s primary focus has always been to support the Department of Basic Education towards improving the implementation of the National School Nutrition Programme (NSNP) — which has a goal of enhancing learning capacity and improving access to education.
The project, through its MRR (Monitoring, Reporting and Response) program, serves to impact and improve children’s education by providing good nutritional meals, at the right time, everyday, for young learners across South Africa.
