Make your mark for these marvellous kids

From their hearts to yours...

Amazing! Together, you helped raise an incredible £384,728.50 for Carmen’s Kids.

Thanks to your support, these kids are happy, fed and finally free to dream big.

So if heartfelt thank yous from adorable kids aren’t your thing… you’re in trouble.

Here’s why giving matters

  • Rising food prices is a major issue

    With parents struggling to put food on the table, more and more children in South Africa’s poorest communities, like Stellenbosch, are going hungry at home.

  • Thousands of kids are counting on us

    Thanks to your generosity, winemaker Carmen Stevens is feeding daily nutritious meals to over 25,000 children – giving them the fuel they need to learn and play.

  • The hard work doesn’t end

    Feeding this many hungry mouths, Carmen’s funds are constantly stretched and in need of a top-up. And that’s why your help is a big deal.

Ready to skip your takeaway?

Remember – Just £27 can feed a child for a whole year. So instead of spending it on this week’s takeaway, you can give a child the nutrition they need to grow, stay healthy, and focus at school. An easy swap for you, but with a huge impact for them. Even better, add Gift Aid to boost your donation by 25%, at no extra cost to you.

Carmen’s Kids in action

Carmen told us a story about a bright little boy from one of the Stellenbosch schools you support. He’s only 7, but much smaller than other children his age, a clear sign that he’s grown up malnourished. Thanks to Carmen’s Kids, he finally gets the nutrition he needs to reach his full potential, as a happier, healthier and more confident boy – and he’s not alone. Watch this video to meet the children you support, proof that your generosity really is making a difference.

A note from Carmen

“What began as a humble act of giving back into the community where I grew up, serving just a cup of soup three times a week, quickly revealed itself as an urgent and a real need. Then the Naked Wines community stepped in, and everything changed.”
