...is the name of a fantastic NGO that my good friends Brendan and Rebecca Maughan-Brown have started in South Africa (you may recognize Brendan as a frequent co-author of mine in previous posts). The broad goal of WoF is to intervene on disadvantaged children in South Africa to improve health, nutrition and education.
Currently, the Maughan-Browns are working towards providing school-based meals for 100 children for an entire year in the Eastern Cape, where budget issues have led to the cessation of a government-funded program doing the same. It's a great cause, as school meals have been shown to increase attendance and perhaps even test scores, both of which can have important long-run benefits.
I encourage you to donate if you are interested. The Maughan-Browns are smart people looking for evidence-based, high impact interventions. They are running WoF with low overheads, guaranteeing that your money is well spent.
