Making a difference

For The Youth Of South Africa

Next Level Living (NLL) is committed to investing in the lives of young people across South Africa, bringing hope to children and families facing the harsh realities of poverty and hunger. In many communities, far too many children go without consistent meals, and far too many families are forced to live without the basic support they need to thrive. Through our work in Cape Town, we provide weekly meals and food support to help meet urgent needs, while also reminding every child and family we serve that they are seen, valued, and not forgotten. We also sponsor well-deserving students in college, because we believe education is one of the most powerful ways to fight poverty and create lasting change. With the support of our staff, board, and more than 100 volunteers who have served with us over the years, your partnership helps us bring nourishment, opportunity, and hope to those who need it most.

A Movement

Of Service & Love

fighting child hunger

For the past eight years, this work has been carried out in Cape Town, South Africa, serving children and families with compassion and consistency. The need is still great, and we invite you to take a moment to watch the video below to better understand the impact being made and how, together, we can reach even more people. Thank you for partnering with us and helping us make a greater difference.

Child hunger remains one of the most urgent challenges facing many communities in South Africa. Millions of children live in households that struggle to provide consistent meals, and for many students a warm meal from a community feeding program may be the most reliable food they receive that day. This is why the work of our dedicated team and faithful volunteers is so important. Together they prepare and distribute thousands of warm meals and food parcels each week, helping ensure children have the nourishment, dignity, and hope they need to learn, grow, and pursue a better future.

the heartbeat of the mission

Behind every meal served and every child reached is a committed team on the ground in Cape Town. More than 100 volunteers, along with our full-time staff, faithfully serve their communities each week. Many of these volunteers are students whose college education was sponsored through our programs, and they are now giving back to the very communities they came from.

Leading this work are Gavin and his wife Porcia, who have faithfully served as Director and Co-Director since 2018. Together with the team and volunteers, they are the heartbeat of the organization. This work not only supports families in need but also provides jobs and financial opportunities for people in Cape Town, creating both immediate relief and lasting impact in local communities

partner in changing lives

.As founders, Jeremy and Traci Anderson have been faithfully serving communities across Cape Town, South Africa, since 2016. In 2018, they officially established Next Level Living in Cape Town to deepen the work and expand its reach to children and families facing poverty and hunger. As the need continues to grow, they are inviting others to be a part of this life-changing mission. A Next Level Partner is someone who gives monthly to help us reach more children, support more families, and expand our impact in communities that need it most.

Your monthly tax-deductible donation helps support our team on the ground in South Africa and provides meals, care, and hope to thousands of children and families in multiple communities each week. Thank you in advance for your generosity and for helping us make a lasting difference.

Next Level Living is all about making IMPACT....

feeding their stomachs:

Poverty and hunger are daily realities for many people living in the Cape Flats and surrounding communities. We have been privileged to provide food parcels and warm meals to thousands of families each week, helping meet one of their most urgent and basic needs. This life-changing work would not be possible without the dedication of our team and volunteers who faithfully prepare and serve these meals. Beyond feeding families physically, we are also committed to reminding every child and every family that they are seen, loved, and not forgotten. Next Level Living, Inc. is on a mission to make sure the children of South Africa have both their bellies and their hearts full.

feeding their minds:

At Next Level Living, we understand that education is one of the most powerful ways to fight poverty and create lasting change. Across South Africa, there are many bright, talented young people who have the desire and potential to pursue higher education, but financial barriers stand in the way. We are committed to helping change that by investing in students who are ready to build a better future for themselves and their families. In 2020, Jeremy launched a campaign to sponsor 40 deserving college students at the College of Cape Town, and this year our foundation sponsored 20 more, bringing the total to 60 students supported through this life-changing initiative.
