“We are grateful for the partners we have on the ground as they are able to give us first-hand feedback on the reality of the situation and allow us to mobilise what is needed, when and where,” says Andra Nel, Brand Purpose and Reputation Manager at KFC. “As it stands, we are still working on increasing the number of food parcels being delivered to ensure we reach as many families as possible and are able to provide meals to the children at Early Childhood Development (ECD) centres who have been impacted, either completely destroyed or inaccessible due to the damaged roads, as many of these rely on feeding schemes.”  

“Our partnership with KFC Add Hope, couldn’t have come at a better time,” adds Warren Farrer, at DO MORE Foundation. “Mobilising efforts of this magnitude to provide relief needed means coming together and integrating and collaborating with other networks to extend reach and relief.”

The teams are also working closely with the provincial disaster management authorities and our network beneficiary organisations on the ground to focus efforts on some of the most hard-hit areas. 

“We are proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with the many corporates, NGOs and citizens that have come to not only provide the necessary relief now but to help rebuild and the R2 we receive from our customers, added to KFC’s own contribution, plays a critical role in the impact we are able to make in our efforts to add hope to those in need,” continues Nel.

“We call on consumers to nominate communities in KZN that may be in need of food support so that we can further mobilise our efforts and drive even more support to the people that need it most,” concludes Nel.
