EYE UBUNTU DRIVE
Coupled with the public health challenge of COVID19; one in five children in Inner-city, Soweto and Alexandra communities live in food insecure households, which means they lack consistent access to enough food.
With South Africa’s lockdown introduced on the 27th of March; a significant number of Johannesburg Inner-city, Soweto and Alexandra Townships and Informal settlements dwellers working in the low-income industries as restaurant, hotel staff or domestic workers have faced retrenchments due to lockdown.
For these communities; hunger and malnutrition has begun to replace COVID19 as existential fear.
Without alternative income sources, our young people’s families have no means to survive.
Thus; the Egolisquash Youth Empowerment Ubuntu Drive Programme has made transformation possible through advocating for a nutritional and academic program that ensures more Johannesburg Inner-city, Soweto and Alex youths have enough to eat and can study when they not in school due to COVID19 outbreak.
