Jade is a hard working dedicated career woman that is always looking for fresh ideas. With a passion for community development, she understands the corporate responsibility organisations have to adhere to, if they wish to survive in todays global context. Jade would be an asset for any organisation and she is defiantly a loss to the South African workforce. We will miss her.......David Collins

Jade is honestly one of the most incredible people I have ever met. I have been working with her for about 2 years now and have absolutely enjoyed every moment of it. She has an immense passion and care for all people, willing to go out of her way to help and assist anyone she can. Once she sets her mind to a goal, she is absolutely unstoppable, doing everything she can to make a success of it. Anyone that has ever crossed paths with her can confirm that she is an amazing individual. Jade is able and willing to accomplish incredible things.

Through the new system, 450 individuals are being fed weekly and the Mike Loutfie Foundation facilitates this entire project. The UN Summit Game Changers Lab selected our Food Bank proposal for creating new and improved food systems globally, and the Foundation acts as the community and wellness render for the cohort.
