| Home visitors examining a patient |
Last week we started a new craft group in the Maramba/Malota area of town, which is a very poor, deprived and overcrowded area. The picture shows ladies from the Maramba Home Based Care (MHBC) group visiting a patient at home. They offer advice and support to the sick, disabled and housebound in the community as well as supporting over 200 orphans. At the moment the services they offer are limited due to lack of funds so we are going to work with the group to help them do more.
Our new craft group consists of 15 women, some of whom are in the MHBC group, others are members of the community who have no income, no qualifications and no way of feeding their families. The MHBC ladies plan to raise money to continue and expand their important work.
I'll post some pics of what they make as soon as we can - we're starting with mats made with wool.
