SA's lunchbox charity bags R460,000 in donations after birth of royal baby.
In lieu of gifts for their baby, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle asked for the public to donate to four charities – one of them being the Lunchbox Fund, a South African organisation that provides meals to hungry schoolchildren across the country.
The Lunchbox Fund has received $32,000 in donations from 16 countries since the April 5 announcement. Following Archie's birth on May 6, the charity saw a"small spike" in contributions, totalling 65 new donations by the end of last week. Since its founding in 2005, the Lunchbox Fund has delivered 20-million meals across all nine provinces, ultimately working toward its goal of supporting children's education.
