OUR ACTIVITIES:
Care for the Elderly Women:
Most of these women are widows some very old and some are sickly. Like Blandina we provide food for them and if treatment needed is provided. Blandina is our baby, she eats special types of food but we try, right now her feet are swollen.
Suzan is another sickly but we mind very much and monitor her.
Care for Child Headed Families OVC.
We make these children go to school this covid 19 period. And try to provide some of the basic needs for example; Scholastic materials, uniforms and mid-day meals provided when at school.
Right now our children don’t go to school due to pandemic of covid-19.
We received funds. We provided food for these children even during the covid-19 period and this is worse than before.
HIV/AIDS (Long Term Survival Skills)
The leaders of these group are fully informed on HIV/AIDS (long term survival skills) and they help a lot to protect our sickly HIV/AIDS positive children, women and child headed families our women counsel them and make sure these go to clinics regular and the right days of clinics no stigma, no stress very well informed on skills, self-awareness, no more stress in our communities.
DRAMA
Our tool in sensitization on HIV/AIDS.
This is done through songs, miming and drama, we are proud of this group.
AGRICULTURE
Agriculture is our basic activity in life. We group sweet potatoes, tomatoes, onions, groundnuts, egg plants, beans, maize; we eat part and sell some for little income to earn a living.
ü Local poultry practiced by all members.
ü Local goat rearing by all members at small scale.
ü We have rains right now, people are busy weeding and planting.
TREE PLANTING
All our members have known the use of planting trees because if you have thirty planted you use some for selling to get money, fire wood and charcoal.
HOME VISIT
We have always visited our OVC’S child headed families, our elderly, the HIV/AIDS member comfort them and give them courage but during this Covid -19 period it was not easy.
DAY CARE CENTRES
We now give these people food to take care by their counselors and care givers only while following the social distance, masks, washing with soap and water etc.
HEALTH
We steadily advise our people on Covid-19 and those without soap we provide.
The funds we received late August from our donors ane TheRiver Fund. It has helped us a lot and we are very grateful for the assistance.
Covid-19 has become a big problem to our people because you have to stay where you live.
We are renting for a widow with her four children, she has nowhere to stay and we provide food for this family throughout; very hard life for that woman, she has no house.
DEVELOPMENTS.
Our women are busy planting and weeding, the yield seems to be good.
SUGGESTION;
Suzan is now very happy having constructed a house for her. Now we have Harriet with her four children. In case funds are realized we should construct a simple house for her.
