SUFFICIENT, NUTRITIOUS FOOD IS A BASIC HUMAN RIGHT
The lack of food security is one of the most urgent crises facing our country today.
Every day 18 million South African men, women and children go to bed hungry.
We live in a country that produces an abundance of fresh, nourishing food that could feed all our citizens, but one of the central problems
is that 10 million tons of food goes to waste every year.
SA Harvest is creating a food rescue and distribution platform that will ultimately enable us to realise our mission to ensure that every South African is able to access adequate nutritious food on a daily basis. This platform is based on four pillars – food rescue, education, engagement and innovation.
Eliminating hunger and food waste through the redistribution of quality surplus food underpins everything we do. Our modus operandi is unique in South Africa as we use refrigerated vehicles, which means we can deliver PERISHABLE as well as NON-PERISHABLE food, enabling our recipient organisations to get a sufficient variety of food to provide full and nourishing meals to their people.
Raising awareness about food waste, food rescue, food security and nutrition, and driving a process that helps people to become food self-sufficient through sustainable and appropriate educational programmes and technologies.
Involving the community in reducing food waste and alleviating hunger. This is achieved mainly via a programme of volunteering where people and corporations donate their time to SA HARVEST’s efforts in the community.
As innovators in the food rescue space we constantly look for new solutions to combat food waste and hunger in South Africa.

Pot bread, baked treats for Easter, muffins, vetkoek, thick slices of bread… The cooks in our beneficiary organisations have been baking up the most delicious creations across the length of Cape Town in the last two weeks – all thanks to a donation of Golden Cloud flour by Bidfood. We asked them to tell us what they did with the flour, and these pics gave us a hearty dose of South African gees (spirit). Check out this recipe from Kensington Foundation – served over the Easter weekend with a good ol’ braai.

Share your thoughts on the question of how obesity and malnutrition are connected and we'll share ours. What we can tell you is that nutrition is a cornerstone of our beliefs. We believe every South African has the right not just to food, but to nutritious food, and we're fighting malnutrition and undernourishment every day.
Earlier today the World Health Organization (WHO) posted: "Hello World! We agree that health is a right, not a privilege. It’s time to build a fairer healthier world for everyone everywhere". We couldn't agree more! 🌎
Happy #WorldHealthDay on this 71st anniversary of the World Health Organisation"s global health awareness day!
