Gogo Thandi is 68 and raising four grandchildren on her pension.
Her days start at 5am, boiling water for porridge before the youngest ones head to school.
When her pension runs short before month-end, she used to skip meals herself so the children wouldn't notice.
Since joining our feeding scheme's after-school programme six months ago, her grandchildren get a hot meal on weekday afternoons — one thing she no longer has to stretch her budget around.
She still does the school run every morning, rain or shine, and jokes that her knees complain more than her grandchildren do.
Support keeps programmes like this one running for families like Gogo Thandi's.
