Make your mark for these marvellous kids

Help us keep Carmen’s kitchens open. Just £27 will feed a hungry schoolchild for a whole year.

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.”
