On World Food Day, Kellanova (previously Kellogg’s) is partnering with the National Department of Agriculture and its charity partners to mark its commitment to advancing sustainable and equitable access to food and addressing the intersection of well-being, hunger, sustainability and equity, diversity and inclusion.
According to Statistics South Africa, over 21% of South African households grapple with food insecurity. Kellanova is committed to creating better days and a place at the table for everyone. To amplify the impact of its efforts.
Kellanova has been deeply rooted in the Eastern Cape community for over a decade, ensuring that thousands of learners start their school day with a nutritious breakfast every school day since 2014. Through our established partnership with the National Department of Basic Education, Kellanova donates breakfast to 11,780 children who attend 15 schools in Gqeberha.
Hungry children cannot concentrate at school – with devastating consequences. At an individual level, these children will not be able to realise their full academic potential, damaging their prospects of a bright future.
This World Food Day, we affirm our commitment to creating better days for communities in South Africa and positively impacting society by helping to end hunger and contribute to achieving food security, said Philip Nieman, General Manager at Kellanova South Africa.
Over the past 11 years, Kellanova has donated over 62 million meals through the Better Days School Feeding Programme to learners in Gauteng, the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal. In 2024, Kellanova launched the Better Days School Gardens, which supports gardens at five schools to provide fresh vegetables to over 4,600 children as part of their school lunch. It has also trained about 180 families to grow vegetables at home.
