Abstract

Thembakazi ‘Roundy’ Peter, and her small container turned kitchen, became a lifeline for many hungry families in the rural community of Ntabankulu, Alfred Nzo District Municipality in Eastern Cape, South Africa. The Eastern Cape is the poorest province in South Africa and the kitchen is in an area with one of the highest rates of child malnutrition with child hunger rates at 48% between 2002 and 2019 and 44% of children living below the poverty line, a rate which increased rapidly during COVID-19 (Ellis 2022). COVID-19 and its accompanying lockdowns, travel bans, and other restrictions made a dire situation worse for the community of Ntabankulu. However, our intervention and the hard work of our COVID Hero ‘Roundy’, as she is affectionately known, helped this community see some rays of hope where there was hunger and desperation.

Thembakazi ' Roundy ' Peter和她的小集装箱厨房成为南非东开普省阿尔弗雷德·恩佐区市恩塔班库鲁农村社区许多饥饿家庭的生命线。东开普省是南非最贫穷的省份，厨房所在的地区是儿童营养不良率最高的地区之一，2002年至2019年期间，儿童饥饿率为48%，44%的儿童生活在贫困线以下，这一比例在2019冠状病毒病疫情期间迅速上升(Ellis 2022)。2019冠状病毒病及其伴随的封锁、旅行禁令和其他限制使恩塔班库卢社区的悲惨局势更加恶化。然而，我们的干预和我们的COVID英雄“圆蒂”的辛勤工作，帮助这个社区在饥饿和绝望中看到了一些希望。

期刊介绍： Since 1993, Gender & Development has aimed to promote, inspire, and support development policy and practice, which furthers the goal of equality between women and men. This journal has a readership in over 90 countries and uses clear accessible language. Each issue of Gender & Development focuses on a topic of key interest to all involved in promoting gender equality through development. An up-to-the minute overview of the topic is followed by a range of articles from researchers, policy makers, and practitioners. Insights from development initiatives across the world are shared and analysed, and lessons identified. Innovative theoretical concepts are explored by key academic writers, and the uses of these concepts for policy and practice are explored.
