A New Soup Kitchen!

csn’s new soup kitchen

Makes it easier for the soup kitchen volunteers to serve more children.

The three year drought has brought high levels of malnutrition to the Drimiopsis community and Omaheke region where CSNS’ support programs are located. According to CSN Manager Belinda Tsuses, the numbers of hungry children receiving a soup kitchen meal has more than doubled over past years. The number of hungry children served varies day to day—some days 145 children are served, other days the numbers are much higher with up to 200 children receiving meals. Depending on resources, the soup kitchen volunteers prepare meals 2-3 times per week.

CSNS has responded to this increased need by funding a larger and more efficient facility which includes sinks, a place for a stove, a toilet, a storage area for supplies, and a shaded area where the children can come for soup kitchen meals. We are seeking donations to equip the kitchen with pots, utensils and a gas stove.

We hope you enjoy the following pictures of CSN’s new soup kitchen!
