How unemployed Mitchells Plain mom is making a difference through community feeding
In the heart of Mitchells Plain, unemployed mother Michelle Walker is turning adversity into action by launching a feeding scheme that nourishes both children and the elderly, proving that compassion can thrive even in the toughest of times.
Michelle Walker, a single mother of two from Mitchells Plain, is making a difference in her community by providing meals to the children and elderly in New Culture informal settlement. Despite being unemployed and struggling financially, Michelle and her husband Jason have opened a feeding scheme out of their own pockets. Their goal is to help the most vulnerable members of the community, including Jason's boss who occasionally contributes when he can, and the wider community through donations.
Michelle has big dreams to establish a non-profit organization (NPO) to expand her outreach, and recently launched Strive New Culture Organisation on August 10. She hopes to demonstrate to her children that helping others is just as important as caring for one's own family.
