Child Nutrition Programme

Every school day, 20,000 students receive a nourishing 300ml cup of mahewu – a porridge-based drink.

Fortifying young children.
The Malilangwe Trust’s Nutrition Programme gives young learners a healthy platform to work from. Apart from providing much-needed nutrition, headmasters of the schools where these drinks are distributed have confirmed that these drinks are also increasing school attendance.
The system runs in tandem with the Ministry of Health to ensure that all the centres have potable water and appropriately trained personnel administering the project.
The nutritious drinks:
  • boost the children’s health
  • support increased classroom participation
  • help them thrive in school

Malilangwe Trust

Als Hüter des Malilangwe Wildlife Reserve in Simbabwe ist der Malilangwe Trust für den Erhalt dieser unberührten Wildnis verantwortlich, die auf fast 530 Quadratkilometern geschütztem Land 38 verschiedene Lebensräume und ökologische Zonen umfasst.
Nach der erfolgreichen Ansiedlung von 28 Spitzmaulnashörnern und 15 Breitmaulnashörnern im Jahr 1998 ist im Reservat eine global signifikante Population beider Arten gewachsen. Das Programm war so erfolgreich, dass es als Vorbild für die Wiederansiedlung von Nashörnern in anderen Reservaten in Afrika dient.
Der Trust hat einen Plan für ein harmonisches Zusammenwirken von Naturschutzinitiativen und Dorfentwicklungsprojekten in angrenzenden Regionen entwickelt und ein Refugium für unzählige Wildtiere geschaffen, darunter Herden von seltenen Antilopenarten wie Rappen- und Pferdeantilope, die sich hier gut vermehren.
In einem Umweltbildungszentrum können Lehrer und ihre Schüler sich mit dem Leben in der Natur und der Feldarbeit auseinandersetzen. Das Ernährungsprogramm des Trusts versorgt täglich 20.000 Kinder vor der Schule mit einer stärkenden Mahlzeit, um der zunehmenden Nahrungsmittelunsicherheit in der Region entgegenzuwirken.

3 Focus Areas of Conservation

Community

Singita seeks to immerse and connect guests to the nature, culture, and people of a place in ways that honour, sustain, and even help them. It’s a way to ensure that the impact of our travels is as minimal as possible, and wherever it can be, beneficial.

Sustainability

For decades, Singita has taken care to integrate sustainable practices into every aspect of our guest experience and operations. Working with local communities and conservation partners, we aim to reduce our and our guests’ impact.

Biodiversity

Surrounded by thousands of hectares, with no other light, sound, or presence except what belongs, balance is preserved – between conservation and tourism, luxury and lightness on the earth, and travel, with the quiet understanding that though it may always leave a trace, it needn’t leave a mark.
