Supplying over 18,000 meals a day to children & orphans in South Africa for over 20 years.
Providing Highly Nutritional Food to Underprivileged Children In Africa is what Food4Africa does.
Thank you for your caring support as we approach OUR NEXT GOALS:
helping Food4Africa to expand it’s feeding program from 18,000 children a day to over 50,000 children a day in South Africa & neighboring countries.
Since its inception in 2003, Food4Africa has provided over 60,000,000 meals to date.
Why did Sanará & Influence Foundation say “Yes” to Gordon and the children of Africa
Charlie says…..”My wife Daniella and I are delighted to be Patrons for this wonderfully impactful charity. Food4Africa has proven over the last twenty years to be sustainable and effective in distributing 60 million nutritious meals to children and people in need across Southern Africa.
I met founders Alan and Gordon first through our collective initiative in the early 2000s gathering in Mozambique to reduce the cost of land mine removal under another Foundation with the Patronage of Nelson Mandela and a group of caring citizens including John Paul de Joria has ever since been the Founding Patron with his wife Eloise for Food4Africa.
When we tackled the work of land mine removal the Mineseeker Foundation’s technology deployed was able to reduce the cost of de-mining from $1,000 to $8 a land mine through a MOD radar that could penetrate into the ground mapping land from the air (way before internet), so a never ending problem became a solution with fertile farm land returned to the villagers. Food4Africa was birthed a few years earlier recognizing the need to feed the poor, especially school children and then help empower a nation to feed itself.
Our commitment continues today to be inspired by Mandela who taught us all that feeding Africa would start with food, nutritional prepared. This is occurring every day-through Food4Africa. This work is absolutely vital as if we do not accomplish this together with your support then the UN projects there will be 400 million Climate Refugees by 2030 looking to travel to Europe and the Americas . If unchecked, by 2050 this number is projected to swell to 1.3 billion, a number utterly unsustainable for any government and receiving country or continent to handle.
We have to provide food and water solutions to prevent climate refugee misplacement. We absolutely have to and we can only accomplish this with your help as an inclusive Fellowship collective.
Mandela’s legacy continues to inspire us and his world to ask deeper questions. Recognizing how to care for our basic actions around food and water, to educate farmers to grow with best practices the most appropriate healthy local produce, to be picked up and produced in local food factories, and to keep on educating farmers and consumers how we provide “the fishing rod and then teach them to feed.”
Daniella and my work around food extended on the ground over the years from Mozambique and Kenya in the East and to Liberia in the West, where we founded an agro-incubator project for the nation. Hope Farm, under the leadership of Liberian youth leader Dr Kimmie Weeks, is the first organic producing regenerative farm in the country focusing on multi growing multi use crops and flours, like plantain and cassava that are not reliant on high water irrigation and are versatile to make a variety of nutritious foods. In addition these multi diverse crops grown in the same field under these regenerative practices that also includes minimizing fertilizers and pesticides, also provide farmers with a higher price than the average values of popular mono crops. These practices mirror the farming we initiated in the Yucatan, Mexico which follow Daniella’s founding principles behind The Real Coconut and Sanará Kitchens.
It is absolutely vital for humanity’s sake that the poor of Africa are first fed and educated so that the nations are stabilized. It starts with the children. We ask for your continued support and donations for Food4Africa. It is time that we combat food famine once and for all. We are all at this critical global and personal juncture where together we can change the course of all our histories.

Our Mission
To feed the children of Southern Africa and to support their early childhood development. We follow the legacy of past global champions whose legacy is to inspire people to be the best they can be.
“Feed today, teach the fishermen to fish tomorrow, and then equip them with fishing rods so they may feed themselves for life.”
Food4Africa and our UK sister charity, Food4AfricaUK and Food4africaUSA raise awareness and support the needs of vulnerable children in Southern Africa.
Our focus is on early childhood development, to help give vulnerable children the start they need to become the future of their country. Our aims for children are to:
Alleviate hunger and poverty
Maximise energy levels and enhance immune systems to fight off diseases
Develop ‘brain’ potential for future learning
Promote better concentration and a sense of well-being
Make it easier for them to cope with everyday schooling
The nation of South Africa as well as all African countries need to stabilize and give consistent access to food as soon as possible. Our mission is a commitment to help support this ultimate goal.
In excess of 2 million pre-school children throughout South Africa do not receive sufficient food. We are committed to work with other organisations to supply children with at least one vitamin and mineral enriched meal for every day.
Our aim is to achieve this without large administration structures that erode donor’s funds - we succeed in this mission as 85% of every contribution has a direct impact.
Our target communities are:
Pre-School children: feed these toddlers on a sustainable basis while at the most crucial development stages of their fragile little lives.
School Classrooms:
Home based initiatives: feeding those destitute.:
AIDS orphans: “Early Nutritional Intervention” might help prevent progression or death in HIV-infected children..
