We have a long standing relationship with the Salvation
Army based in Mbabane. They have a particularly strong counselling
and medical section. This is where we refer our patients in need of treatment that is beyond our abilities.
We take care of the health of our OVC children who either attend
pre school or sponsored children who attend our afternoon library sessions.
There is limited access to ARVs for those who are living positively,
due to shortage of drugs and costs of transportation from rural
areas to administering hospitals.
Those who qualify for ARVs have full blown Aids. It has been established
that those who are positive but do not qualify can extend their
lives by 50% through good nutrition, and the use of vitamins and
supplements. |
