The Matchbox team on the ground has distributed 500 food parcels to the children of our 4 daycare centers and their families. These parcels will nurture them for a whole week, which makes up to 14.000 meals!
Matchbox forms part of the TOGETHER FOR CAPETOWN network, an instantly created platform to raise funds for our EMERGENCY FOOD PROGRAM. In close cooperation with our international partners, we distribute food parcels to the children and their families in Cape Town’s underresourced communities.
South Africa has announced the globally most radical lock down.
As well as any public life, our daycare centers are shut down and the families in our communities have to isolate themselves in mostly small houses. In an environment of high unemployment rates, the few income sources are cut off and basic food and health supply can’t be provided. Starvation, dramatic socio-economic consequences and the escalation of the generally critical situation are expected.
