Impact Beyond a Meal - Creating Career Opportunities
LottoStar’s The Star Foundation and Tiger Brands Foundation ’ In-School breakfast program are transforming lives in Mpumalanga. By providing nutritious meals and accredited food handler training, young learners gain practical skills and employment opportunities.
They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Who knew it could be life-changing?
Through LottoStar’s The Star Foundation and Tiger Brands Foundation’ In-School breakfast program, we’re doing just that across eight schools in Mpumalanga. This initiative is not only nourishing young learners but also changing lives.
In January 2025, both Makhosazane Primar and Wandile Mathebula two dedicated food monitors from Mpunzana and Mtimba Primary Schools secured permanent employment thanks to the skills gained through this programme. One has joined the team at Kruger National Park, while the other balances a new job with part-time higher education.
By equipping young individuals with practical skills, hands-on experience and accredited food handler training, we are giving them the tools to build a better future. Their training certificates have strengthened their CVs and boosted their employability.
We couldn’t be prouder of their success, and we remain committed to empowering more young people through our initiatives.
Help us create more opportunities. Join us in making a lasting impact – one meal, one opportunity at a time!
