Peninsula School Feeding Association Details
Established in 1958 by the Rotary Club of Paarden Island (now Table Bay), the Peninsula School Feeding Association (PSFA) is a registered non-profit organisation (002-878 NPO) that addresses hunger in young learners attending primary, secondary and special needs schools as well as Orphaned & Vulnerable Children Centres (OVCs), Early Childhood Development Centres (ECDCs) and Technical and Vocational Education and Training Colleges (TVETs) in the Western Cape.Over and above the ingredients for a set menu supplied to each educational institution on our feeding programme, PSFA also provides each new school that joins our programme with cooking equipment, gas bottles, cooking gas when needed, plates and eating spoons.PSFA empowers and trains members of the community, mostly unemployed parents, to prepare and serve our meals to each of these educational institutions. PSFA provides each volunteer food preparer with a monthly honorarium.PSFA also facilitates the building and supply of kitchens at schools that have inadequate facilities to prepare cooked meals.
