We don't believe in feeding children just to fill hungry tummies...
We believe in nourishing children so they can learn, grow, concentrate, and thrive.🌟

That's why was carefully developed with essential vitamins, minerals, and nutrients that support healthy childhood development.

Through Kingdom Foods International, the manufacturing arm behind Outside The Bowl Africa's feeding programmes, is also available to schools, churches, community organisations, and non-profits looking for a nutritious and cost-effective feeding solution.

Youth Day: Young People Making a Difference

This Youth Day, we had the privilege of hosting a special meal-packing event featuring our new Amazing Meals – Hearty Hot Pot, a complete and nutritious meal designed to help combat hunger in our communities.

The day was about far more than packing meals. It was about empowering young people and demonstrating that volunteerism is not reserved for adults - it is a responsibility we all share. We encouraged the students to recognize that they have the power to make a meaningful difference in the lives of the next generation.

The learners embraced the challenge with enthusiasm, compassion, and teamwork, packing an incredible 2,000 meals. What an outstanding achievement!

A special thank you to Lynden from Paarl FM for joining us on the day. Lynden Jafta inspired the learners with a powerful message: change begins when ordinary people choose to take action. One person becomes two, two become three, and before long, a small act of kindness creates a significant impact.

Youth Day reminds us that today's young people are not only the leaders of tomorrow. They are difference-makers today. We are incredibly proud of every student who participated and helped turn compassion into action.

Together, we packed meals. Together, we built hope. Together, we proved that even small actions can create a lasting impact. ❤

What an incredible privilege it was to visit Die Heuwel Speelskool in Calitzdorp as part of the .❤

What started as a small Early Childhood Development centre has grown into something truly remarkable. Today, Die Heuwel Speelskool impacts the lives of around 250 children, providing not only education and care, but a place where every child is valued, loved, and given the opportunity to thrive.

From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the excellence evident in everything they do. The facilities are beautiful, the environment is welcoming, and the dedication of the team shines through in every detail. It is a reflection of God's faithfulness and excellence, and of people who pour their hearts into serving their community.

As part of the Do it with Love Tour, Mark and Marieta continue their mission of identifying beneficiaries along the way and providing meals and ongoing support. We don't believe in simply stopping by and moving on - we believe in building relationships and walking a journey together.

Being able to bless the children of Die Heuwel Speelskool with was a special moment, but we left feeling that we received just as much as we gave. The love, care, and passion of this team left a lasting impression on all of us.

As we celebrate 10 years of impact, our founder, Mark Maingard, and Marieta will continue this personal journey through the Do it with Love Tour, seeking opportunities to serve, encourage, and support communities across South Africa.

Thank you, Die Heuwel Speelskool, for allowing us to be part of your story. May God continue to bless the incredible work you are doing and the many young lives you are shaping every day.
