Covid-19 projects
An internal Covid-19 Relief Team was established to respond to the three urgent needs (as a result of the pandemic) within the five beneficiary communities.
The three-phased approach helped:
(1) Feed underprivileged citizens whilst lessening the probability of them going to congested areas in search of sustenance.
(2) Assisted health worker, disaster management personnel and patients to stay safe during consultations.
(3) Equipped local municipalities for testing and isolation of Covid-19 patients.
Close to R9-million was dedicated to the first phase response, with close to R52 million dedicated to healthcare, education and community and practitioner welfare in the second phase.
This, however, cannot be compared to the impact derived from the actual interventions and the lives impacted by the programme itself. The plan is to continuously assess ways to respond to the epidemic as informed by various community needs and provide the necessary assistance required.
