Message from the founder There are still many people who suffer from hunger. It is still a challenge to access a proper meal for some people even though we have moved to another level of the pandemic. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, people's eating habits were challenged. The Golden Anchor Solid Rock Foundation is committed to combating hunger and malnutrition. Therefore, we assist and protect people, especially women and children living in fragile environments. Working with children and youth in these fragile settings is a challenge for us. The food price crisis makes it difficult for the elderly to eat a nutritional diet on a daily basis. Golden Anchor Solid Rock Foundation hopes to involve youth in the project.

Children project Fighting hunger and malnutrition is one project of the Golden Anchor Solid Rock Foundation. The organization aims to put children at the center of the project.

The children received sweets and fruit. Thanks to our donor Food Forward SA for your continued support.

The needy children received school bags and school wear. Thanks to our sponsor PEPSA for your support.

Strategic planning meeting

The board members of Golden Anchor Solid Rock Foundation were busy working on strategies on how to manage the organization. The organization currently running a feeding project for hopeless individuals. These individuals can include the waste pickers, street dwellers, vulnerable and the marginalized. The primary aim is to "is to restore lives and give hope to hopeless individuals." One objective derived from this aim is to give dignity back to these individuals. That includes giving them a nutritional plate of food. The individuals need a safe space to enjoy their food.

In the second phase, the organization looks at ideas and options on how to involve the beneficiaries in creating the safe space. What and how the beneficiaries can do themselves to create a safe space. The board members meet to discuss projects that will involve the beneficiaries and learn them to get away of sustaining themselves.
