Contribute caregiver kits!
Over the next few months we will be starting a drive to create home-based care kits for caregivers working in Kennedy Road, Lacey Road and some of the other shack settlements in Durban.
Caregivers are working as volunteers in the settlements to look after those suffering from HIV and AIDS. With so little, they are doing so much to take care of people in their communties.
Volunteers we spoke to expressed an urgent need for simple kits with basics like bandages and latex gloves to help them do their work better.
The kits will include antibacterial soap, petroleum jelly to moisturize and protect dry skin to prevent infection, antifungal cream, cotton balls to clean mouths and sores, latex gloves, washcloths, notebooks and pens to keep records, and a flashlight with batteries in case patients need help in the night.
If you would like to help by contributing a kit, holding an event to fundraise for caregiver kits, or donate funds towards makign kits please email me:
