The Music for Meals Charity Concert

This year’s Covid-19 crisis has, and continues to have, many devastating effects around the Globe. In South Africa, the crisis has caused a food shortage, with over 47% of families reporting that they run out of money to buy food at the height of the crisis in April (NIDS-CRAM Survey Wave 2).

Feeling a duty to assist in local short-term relief efforts and inspired by the World Central Kitchen, Ellerman House – together with Fyn Restaurant, UCOOK, rain and Militia Broadcasting – launched the Music for Meals initiative.

Proceeds collected through ticket purchases and donations will go to The Click Foundation and UCOOK Food Fund to support short-term hunger relief efforts as well as long-term initiatives aimed at improving the overall livelihoods of South Africans through sustainable farming practices and education.

Disaster Relief – The Present

Our kids are counting on us

During this Covid-19 crisis, the communities in which The Click Foundation operates are extremely vulnerable to food and health insecurity.

In Partnership With

Sustainable Livelihoods - The Future

Online English literacy and numeracy

Primary school literacy levels are a leading indicator of future academic attainment and earning potential. Given that 78% of grade 4 learners in South Africa can’t read for meaning, the primary focus of The Click Foundation is the implementation of online English literacy and numeracy programmes in under-privileged primary schools across South Africa. The programmes offer young learners the opportunity to work at their own pace through fun and enjoyable activities, navigating their learning journey by means of technology.

The UCOOK Food Fund

The UCOOK Food Fund is committed to working directly with farmers to ensure that they are provided with the best possible opportunities to grow their businesses. They facilitate a closed-loop system where they provide market access for farmers and a transparent supply chain for the UCOOK customer base. The farmer training programme is developed in partnership with PEDI and Abalimi Bezekhaya. With a focus on organic agriculture, the programme is not only contributing to socio-economic development and food security but will also improve ecological stability in the food system.

The Casterbridge Music Development Academy

The Casterbridge Music Development Academy uses the powerful combination of music and e-learning to inspire creative thinking, instil self-confidence and global awareness to help address the challenging issues facing South Africa’s youth.
