Every weekday, during the school terms, songo.info supplies 120 children from the Kayamandi community, outside Stellenbosch, with a hearty lunch. This lunch fills their tummies and gives them the energy they need to learn and play. After lunch they do their homework and then head out onto the BMX track. So not only is the lunch programme a core component of the charity’s offering, but it is also the fuel which drives the education and sports pillars of songo.info.
