South Africa
South Africa is regarded as a world in one country. It is is one of the most multi-faceted countries on earth - with an astonishing diversity of cultures, landscapes, climates , fauna and flora. It has majestic beautiful mountains and a coastline of about 3000 kilometres along the southern tip of Africa.
Unfortunately it is also a country where there is huge disparity among the rich and the poor.
Many people live in abject poverty with a lot of heartache. Family dysfunctions, sickness and crime is rampant.
Children are especially suffering from malnutrition, lack of opportunities, absent fathers, single mothers or siblings raising them.
To make things worse, abuse of all kinds occur, often due to parents with alcohol use disorder. COVID has made things worse and many parents have lost their jobs and the families are hungry.
CHILD has made a difference in the life of children since 2014. In the town of Pietermartizburg, CHILD has provided scholarships for children from an impoverished neighbourhood. These have now graduated and are studying for a profession.
Since 2021 CHiLD is supporting SAHARA (Smoking & Alcohol Harms Alleviation & Rehabilitation Association) by providing medications to supplement a comprehensive treatment program for people with alcohol, nicotine and drug use disorder.
