Established in 2003, The Woolworths Trust has been making a tangible difference in South Africa. The Trust partners with organizations that help coordinate and attain a meaningful impact in our local communities by supporting initiatives that improve food security, reduce child vulnerability and uplift education.
For decades, Woolworths has been working towards creating a positive impact to alleviate
hunger in South Africa, as access to food is a fundamental human right whose absence truly highlights inequalities in a society. Woolworths aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goal 2 of a #ZEROHUNGER FUTURE by 2030 as one of the ways to bring meaning to the Inclusive Justice commitment and ensure that they leave no one behind.
