Abafundi Food Initiative – Nonprofit initiative aimed at addressing food insecurity among university students in South Africa

Hunger should never stand in the way of education.

No student should have to attend lectures on an empty stomach or choose between buying groceries and paying for transport to campus.

When students have food, they can focus, thrive, and reach their full potential.

If you’re struggling to afford food, you’re not alone and help is available.

Abafundi Food Initiative (AFI) exists to support university students in South Africa who are struggling with food insecurity. Our founder, having once been in the same position, understands the stress of trying to study on an empty stomach. Through grocery food vouchers and basic food parcels, AFI helps students focus on what matters, which is their education.
