Falaah Foundation NPC is registered as a Non Profit Company, as a Public Benefit Organisation with SARS and registered with the Department of Social Development. Our focus is to assist the needy in our communities with food.
Despite many organisations in existence we focus to grow partnerships with other organisations and soup kitchens to work together to make a bigger impact to directly in their community. Although our long term objectives are to create long term sustainable opportunities, we understand that this will require huge sums of capital injection which is by far the biggest challenge for non profit organisations.
The challenge most soup kitchens face currently is funding to feed those in their communities. Many of the impoverished over the past year relied on a plate of food a day, however recently due to limited funds those in impoverished communities are lucky to have a plate of food every third day. We often find people informing us when distributing that is their first meal for the week. Can you imagine being in these circumstances? Let us contemplate on our favours God has bestowed upon us and let us set aside a portion to help those in need.
Today we managed to feed just under 2,000 people from Manenberg, Khayalitsha, Vrygrond, Belhar and Valhalla Park taking the total mouths fed to date to 234,500 since inception. We would like to thank all the sponsors, the team and all volunteers that made this possible.
We would like to urge everyone to please consider us and other non profit organisations with the aim for helping those in need in our communities. As Mother Theresa said, “if you cannot feed a hundred people, feed just one.” We pray that we are given the strength and support to continue feeding even if it’s not to the capacity we would prefer, the importance is to be consistent.
