More Than Just Feeding
GLF is committed to not only feeding the future but also empowering our children to make healthy LIFESTYLE CHOICES through LIFESTYLE AWARENESS.
GLF intends on impacting on the future health of our beneficiaries by encouraging healthy lifestyle choices through a range of positive activities and mentors visiting targeted schools to give awareness talks and encourage positive lifestyles and activity.
GLF intends to leave its footprint by not only nourishing foundation learners but engaging in programs that promote POSITIVE LIFESTYLE choices and awareness in the hopes of assisting our learners to avoid both pregnancy and HIV-AIDS whilst engaging in more positive activities.
GLF is a lifestyle and brand committed to the holistic development of our children and the communities around them.
Our Core Focus
Nutrition & Feeding
Providing nutritional support (breakfast) to disadvantaged beneficiaries — specifically children — on a daily basis to fuel their learning and development.
Positive Lifestyle Awareness
Initiating mentorship programs that promote positive lifestyle awareness by supporting the sexual health and safety of vulnerable and disadvantaged learners.
Positive Lifestyle Choices
Promoting positive lifestyle choices by encouraging a preventative lifestyle that avoids teen pregnancy and HIV-AIDS infection through mentors, wellness experts, and role models from our communities.
Why This Matters
GLF's core responsibility is NUTRITION. In tandem with our need to feed is the responsibility to nurture the holistic health of the child. Most of our beneficiaries are considered vulnerable children as they hail from impoverished, informal and refugee backgrounds and have low levels of protection against various forms of abuse, teen pregnancy and HIV-AIDS infection.
The current teen pregnancy rate and HIV-AIDS statistics amongst our youth is cause for concern — especially when the future burden to the State Welfare and Social system is considered.
Teen pregnancy and high rates of HIV-AIDS infection in youth perpetuate a cycle of poverty and place enormous burden on the Social and Welfare systems in the future.
In 2016–2017, KZN alone reported 200 pre-teen pregnancies amongst learners in Grades 3–5
Strategy & Implementation
GLF seeks funding to provide nutritional support to as many learners as possible on a regular basis.
The foundation seeks to encourage the holistic health of the child by engaging volunteer trainers, wellness experts, life coaches and fitness experts to educate and empower beneficiaries from participating schools in Positive Lifestyles and choices.
Our beneficiaries are severely disadvantaged and regarded as vulnerable children thereby increasing our need to educate and empower them on sexual and personal safety.
GLF aims to do this by engaging the support of corporate and private partners.
GLF welcomes Funding, Food and Product sponsorship as well as the voluntary services of wellness and lifestyle experts.
