As part of Woolworths One Small Spoon initiative, with the aim to alleviate hunger in South Africa, they have partnered with UNICEF to rollout a pilot programme to ensure that children in 50 primary schools that participate in the National School Nutrition Programme [NSNP] will be taught the importance of handwashing and have access to good food. www.unicef.org/southafrica
