Help Us Feed a Future: Support a Grade 12 Family Today
One meal. One learner. One future — powered by you.
We can’t teach a hungry child.
At No-Valo Foundation, we are on a mission to break the cycle of poverty — not just with books, but with something even more basic: food.
Every year in South Africa, thousands of Matric learners sit in classrooms on empty stomachs, expected to perform and carry the hopes of their families. Grade 12 is their launchpad; don't let hunger hold them back.
Support for learners facing overcrowded homes & food insecurity.
Holistic academic and psychosocial support included.
Why Grade 12?
“Matric is demanding. For township learners, it’s make-or-break. They are breadwinners in waiting and beacons of hope.”
