With Prince Harry and Meghan's help this South African charity will provide 152 000 meals to children in need

Cape Town – Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will visit various charities when they land in SA on Monday, one of which will be The Lunchbox Fund.

While not much is known about the royal engagement that will see them travel to Monwabisi beach, we do know the duke and duchess will make the stop next week.

Since choosing The Lunchbox Fund – the US and South Africa-based charity dedicated to feeding school children in some of the most impoverished regions of South Africa – as one of four charities to receive support from their campaigning, they’ve received a considerable amount of donations.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle posted an update soon after saying at the time, the organisation would be able to provide a minimum of 100 000 additional meals to children in South Africa. But in a recent press release, The Lunchbox Fund announced they received over $31 000 (R458 280) from generous donors around the world, which means they will be able to provide an additional 152 000 school lunches to 758 needy children.

We can’t wait to see what else Prince Harry and Meghan Markle do when they visit South Africa.

The Duke and Duchess let us in on some of their plans, with the special message on Instagram, "We look forward to seeing you soon!"
