PROJECT GOALS

To build a toilet block on the current site from which the project operates

DETAILS

Located in Kwanoxolo Township, Port Elizabeth, South Africa

The site currently hosts a pre-school with a porta-loo, which is a health risk. Whilst unpleasant for the carers it is even more important to consider the children’s needs. The children attending the pre-school come from disadvantaged homes, it is important that they are taught good hygiene from an early age. This is difficult when the toilet is in itself a problem. The funds raised will provide a more permanent and hygienic solution.

The project, which has 33 home based carers, over 600 hundred clients who are infected or affected with HIV, runs support groups for the aged, orphans, vulnerable children and AIDS sufferers.

DELIVERY PARTNER

Building of the toilet block will be facilitated by Emmanuel staff and monitored by Calabash Trust. 2 Emmanuel board members come from the construction industry. Labour will be drawn from the local community, strengthen community ties with the project.

Emmanuel is the centre of hope for local people. Supported and working with the Dept. of Social Services it carries the local mandate for home-based care in the area. Over 600 clients (infected or affected by HIV) and close to 500 orphans and vulnerable children are dependent on the centre. The board of Trustees are drawn from the community, to ensure the organisation remains a rooted Community Based Organisation.
