Because no child can learn on an empty stomach.
Since 2009, Isabelo has been providing nutritious meals to children in the Franschhoek Valley of South Africa, helping hungry children learn, grow and thrive.
Founded by chef Margot Janse, Isabelo exists for one simple reason: a meal can change a life.

Isabelo begins feeding children in Franschhoek

Today, we provide approximately 10,000 meals every week to children across the Franschhoek Valley.
