As we celebrate the 100th birthday of Nelson Mandela this month in South Africa and around the world, we proudly remember the words of Mandela that everyone can make a difference to the world around them. At Sinamandla, every week we hear of how women in Self-help groups (SHGs) around South Africa are doing just that - making a difference in their communities.
Khazhimula CLA Home Based Care project in Msinga, KZN, for example, has served its community by caring for the sick and frail for. Currently, the Khazhimula CLA project has 15 patients that it is caring for. One is a woman who suffers from a walking disability caused by a chronic illness. The CLA members visit her at least twice a month to help out with house work and tasks such as cooking, cleaning, laundry, gardening and fetching water from a communal tap for her family and livestock. The CLA is supported by Zimele Wethu Foundation, a partner of Sinamandla. Many thanks for your interest in and support of Sinamandla and its work with women in SHGs.
