Philani Child Health and Nutrition has a vision for a South Africa in which pregnancy is safe and every child can grow up healthy and well-nourished to fulfill his or her physical and mental potential. By recruiting ‘Mentor Mothers’ who have successfully raised healthy children themselves and supporting them to help other mothers to do the same, Philani are already changing the life chances of thousands of children in South Africa.
Philani was a participant in a South African Scale Accelerator programme we delivered in conjunction with The Rockefeller Foundation, Bertha Centre for Social Innovation & Entrepreneurship at Cape Town University and Franchising Plus.
