- The Bulungula Incubator - school feeding program
The Bulungula Incubator is a non-profit organisation which aims to incubate brilliant rural development projects. Our vision is:
- To be a catalyst for the creation of vibrant and sustainable rural communities.
- In partnership with our community, government, NGO’s and other innovative thinkers, the Bulungula Incubator aims to achieve our vision through finding synergies between the traditional rural African lifestyle and culture, and external technologies and innovations. These synergies must always seek to enhance the positive aspects of traditional rural life and/or mitigate the problematic aspects in accordance with our values and recognising the fundamental human rights enshrined in our constitution. The Bulungula Incubator also aims to be an agent for change by influencing government and corporate policy in an effort to spread our vision more widely.
In 2007 BI took action to rebuild the No-ofisi Primary School, a dilapidated mud structure located on the Eastern Cape's Wild Coast. In 2008, they started a school feeding scheme and set up a permaculture garden for vegetables for the lunches. No-ofisi is, however, a government school and in 2009 the government started funding their school feeding scheme. Now, at the start of 2011, the Eastern Cape Education Department has cut all funding for school feeding schemes due to a lack of resources. This is a devastating blow to impoverished families whose children depend on this one meal every day.
