Breaking Boundaries Building Bridges is a small community NPO providing 360 nutritious home-cooked meals per week to children in under resourced areas on the Cape Flats in Cape Town, Western Cape. Weekly Nutrition Programme (52 weeks per year): we feed 120 children (aged 3 – 19) on a weekly basis – some parents come along and some parents now have newborn babies (5 newborn babies ages 3 – 6 months). We feed them nutritious home-cooked meals 3 times per week at a cost of R2,000.00 per week (120 children x 3 meals = 360 meals per week).

Our annual initiatives

  • EidLunchUnderTheBridge community initiative
  • ChristmasForKids – festive braai for children supported weekly. New initiative introduced in 2025
  • ChristmasLunchUnderTheBridge – flagship initiative (Not delivered in 2025 due to insufficient funding)
Each initiative strengthens community cohesion and reinforces positive social identity for children and families
