Young South African children sit in a line for lunch in a room in an Early Childhood Development centre, Cape Town, South Africa

A South African female staff feeds a young African child a meal in an Early Childhood Development centre in Philippi township, Cape Town, South Africa. The centre is part of South African Education & Environment Project. Nutritious meals are provided everyday for the 40 young children who attend the centre. The children all live in very deprived and impoverished townships and as such, many are malnourished due to poverty.
