Proper nutrition is vital for academic success, yet one in three students misses at least one meal a day due to financial constraints. This impacts concentration, energy, and well-being, leading to lower grades, higher stress, and an increased risk of dropping out.

Your donation to Nelson Mandela University’s food support programmes ensures students don’t have to choose between food and education. By providing proper nourishment, you help them focus, excel academically, and build a brighter future. Invest in student nutrition—invest in South Africa’s future.

Student Nutrition

Nelson Mandela University believes that no academically deserving student should be denied education due to financial constraints. Yet, many remain unfunded, including missing middle students—those who earn too much for government aid but too little to afford university. Others face historical debt, preventing graduation, while postgraduates lack NSFAS support despite the need for advanced qualifications. Financial hardship also leads to hunger, with 1 in 3 students missing meals, impacting their health, grades, and well-being. By donating to the University’s bursary, scholarship, and food support programmes, you help students succeed and contribute to a stronger, more just South Africa.

Once a hungry student on campus, I'd like to help feed those who are in need

Every donation makes a difference and our collective contributions can make a more meaningful difference. I call on fellow Nelson Mandela University alumni and friends to support the University's campaign to raise funds to address student hunger and deserving students in need of bursaries.

Thank you Prof Darelle van Greunen and Dr Ossie Franks for sharing the mission of the Nelson Mandela University Trust.  Jen Su
