Cotlands
Cotlands has been a beacon of hope for
thousands of vulnerable children since 1936.
From historical roots as a baby sanctuary,
Cotlands initiated its community-based
programmes in 1999, primarily focusing on
HIV and nutrition, and later adding psychosocial
and educational support to the programmes.
Cotlands now offers early learning sessions for
children from birth to six years old who do not
have access to formal early childhood
development opportunities. Tiger Brands has
been supporting Cotlands since 2012 with food
products for all the centres in Gauteng,
KwaZulu-Natal, Eastern Cape, Western Cape
and Mpumalanga which benefits more than
8 000 vulnerable children and adults.
Tiger Brands Foundation
The Tiger Brands Foundation owns an effective
5% interest in Tiger Brands Limited. It was
established in 2010 for broad-based
community impact.
The Foundation implemented the first in-school
breakfast feeding programme in July 2011 in
partnership with the Department of Basic
Education – the National School Nutrition
Programme (NSNP). Initially, this covered six
primary schools in Alexandra. It has since
rapidly expanded to 62 schools across seven
provinces feeding just over 40 000 learners
the essential meal of breakfast. To date, more
competencies to deliver much needed
developmental services to children and youth.
The model invests in the development of
children from early infancy into young
adulthood and into the world of work.
The support provided by Afrika Tikkun
includes family support services, early
childhood development, career readiness
and entrepreneurial development, nutrition,
food security and support services, and
primary healthcare. Tiger Brands supports
the organisation with food products which
contribute towards the provision of
14 124 weekly meals for beneficiaries
participating in various programmes.
Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University
(NMMU) Community Project
In June 2008 the Nelson Mandela
Metropolitan University and Tiger Brands joined
hands to ensure that very needy students and
various communities receive much needed
nutrition.
NMMU provides meals to 166 students to
ensure that they have the nutritional support to
successfully complete their studies and enter the
world of work. This way, with Tiger Brands’
support, they endeavour to break the cycle
of unemployment and poverty.
The NMMU Community Project also utilises the
food products provided by Tiger Brands to
support surrounding communities with food,
including 60 orphans from Sinethemba
