New Kitchen, New Beginnings
A brand new kitchen at Celani Primary is transforming how learners start their day- with nutritious breakfast, dignity and care.
This year, one of our proudest milestones has been the construction of a brand-new kitchen at Celani Primary School in Hazyview.
This project forms part of The Star Foundation’s five-year In-School Breakfast Programme in partnership with the Tiger Brands Foundation an ongoing campaign dedicated to improving nutrition, focus, and opportunity for learners across Mpumalanga.
The completed kitchen has created a safer, more efficient space for daily meal preparation — with a tiled interior, solid roofing, modern electrical fittings, and dedicated areas for cooking, cleaning, and storage.
Each morning, the kitchen comes alive with purpose, where breakfast is made with care and pride. For many learners, their first meal provides the support they need to begin each day with energy and focus.
Since the programme began in 2022, it has reached over 7,700 learners across eight primary schools in the Ehlanzeni District, serving more than 2.4 million meals to date.
