ACFS
The African Children’s Feeding Scheme
was brought into being in 1945, by the
illustrious Father Trevor Huddlestone.
From Father Huddlestone’s 11 000 meals
a day, the ACFS grew until it provided up
to 45 000 meals per day to poverty
stricken children in the general Gauteng
area. After the re-instatement of the
School Feeding Scheme in the early
1990's, the number of children fed
dropped to 14 000 per day and now
stands at 16 000, which is almost
exclusively funded from donor funding and
fundraising programs.
