2018-2019:
Project 1: While on a visit, it came to our attention that a very poor family known to locals had lost their home under bad weather conditions. The father of three children had fainted. We asked him what was wrong. He explained the enormous burden of keeping his wife and children sheltered. We decided to visit their home, only to find a few tin sheets surrounding the outdoor toilet with a hole in the ground. The rest of the material that came down from the severe weather conditions were used to patchwork a missing wall of a neighbours room where they were temporarily living. They also did not have water access between a few poor families. We decided to take the project on and build the family a home made of bricks and offer a community well.
Project 2: A poor family with insufficient funds to pay for essential medicine came to our attention. We sent someone to visit the family and was extremely disturbed by the situation. The father had a neurological disorder that meant his body was continuously shaking rapidly. Without medication he was in a permanent state of no rest. This has been very sad to see. We checked the medical records and the medication needed. We decided on a medical fund to supply him with some years of medication. A partnership with the local pharmacy meant we can provide the money directly to the pharmacy while the families receive their supply of essential medication on a monthly basis. The medical fund aimed to offer medication for him and other similar cases.
