The 9Miles Project is a community initiative focused on mentoring and uplifting young people in underserved areas.
Through structured after-school programmes, the organisation provides a safe space for children and youth, many of whom are at risk due to poverty and lack of opportunity. Food support plays a critical role in keeping these programmes running.
“Food is what brings the kids in, but it’s also what keeps them here,” explains one programme facilitator.
By partnering with organisations like this, FoodForward SA helps ensure that vulnerable youth are not only fed, but supported in ways that build long-term resilience and opportunity.
