Feedingpotential with integrity
The Tiger Brands Foundation (TBF) is a non-profit organisation dedicated to providing South African learners in vulnerable communities with a warm nutritious breakfast every school day.
Since its inception in 2011, TBF’s in-school breakfast programme which complements the lunch provided by the National School Nutrition Programme (NSNP) has proven to be one of the most efficient nutrition programmes in South Africa. The programme plays a crucial role in addressing the nutritional needs of leaners and promoting their overall well-being, by serving them a nutritious in-school breakfast.
Impact that goes Beyond the Meal
Seeking new partners, popularising a deeply developmental and empowering approach to social investment, and offering useful leadership, are interwoven aspects of the TBF strategy.
A Model For Change
The Tiger Brands Foundation was established for broad based community impact, and will be for the benefit of non-fee paying schools, vulnerable groups in society as well as projects that promote sustainable livelihoods in the areas in which such non-fee paying schools exist.
To achieve this vision, the Foundation established an in-school breakfast programme to complement the lunch provided by the Department of Basic Education – National Schools Nutrition Programme (NSNP). We work closely with the NSNP team in the selection of schools with strict criteria applied to each school prior to the in-school programme being implemented.
