Our Story

The Organisation was founded in 2015 and officially registered in 2018. Nadia founded the organisation in the south of Johannesburg upon witnessing the countless labourers waiting at different traffic lights in the hope of a day job. She started by cooking pots of soup and distributing the soup and bread every Saturday to these guys. Then taking onboard an oldage home with 20 individual cottages with 2 occupants each. This carried on for a number years until she moved back to her city of birth, Kimberley. She then officially registered the NPO (215-765 NPO) with the Department of Social Development in 2018 when she saw the need for a soup kitchen in her community of Roodepan. It has been operational since. The feeding scheme is named after her late mother Clara Sampson who instilled the love of giving and community in Nadia
