What are you raising money for?

Winemaker Carmen Stevens and a team of volunteers used to run a soup kitchen for impoverished children in the town of Belhar, just 15 minutes from the thriving wine community of Stellenbosch. Unfortunately, Carmen and her team ran out of funds, so the soup kitchen was forced to close. Since October 2015, Naked Angels have raised $183,087 to re-open the kitchen and keep it going. Since then, over 1,729,229 meals have been served to 6,451 schoolchildren in 9 different schools. With your support, Carmen can continue with this incredible initiative.

 

Why is there poverty near a wine-growing region?

Vineyards support countless people across the Stellenbosch area. Carmen ensures her employees are well looked after by paying double the minimum wage for farm workers. While poverty continues to exist in these regions, we can have most impact by supporting wider projects such as Carmen's soup kitchen to help those who need it.

 

How will the money be used?

Donations will be directly used to provide the ingredients and equipment required by teams of hard-working volunteers to feed the children in these communities. Just $26 is enough to feed a child breakfast and lunch at school for a whole year.
