Food Safety Programme

Prodigy Business Services and North West House of Traditional and Khoi-San Leaders

Are you interested in participating in the Food Safety Ambassador Programme?

“Project Basop”, has been conceptualised to address the growing crisis of fake foods and expired foods. This crisis requires urgent and immediate. Of particular concern are the lower socio economic areas such as rural areas and townships, where communities are poverty stricken and remain desperate to buy food at any cost. The victims are most often young children, pregnant women and the elderly.

The North West House of Traditional and Khoi-San Leaders together with Prodigy Business Services are offering youth an opportunity to participate in programme where they will be skilled to become a Food Safety Ambassador. Selected participants will obtain training and an allowance. The programme will:

• Orientate, train and skill rural unemployed graduates regarding food safety.
• Capacitate each food safety ambassador with the necessary knowledge to communicate food safety (fake and counterfeit foods and food poisoning) to communities.

All participants will be paid a travelling allowance.
