The Home Based Care was initiated three years ago by Sylvia Lukhele, a lady from the community. She noticed the dismal circumstances under which the people of the village lived and started to do something about it. She began by nursing patients and feeding aids orphans on a small scale. Her small zinc hut became a safe haven for the many vulnerable children and women of this rural community.
In 2008 the Love and Peace Home Based Care was registered as a non-profitable organization. This enabled her to appoint personnel to assist her in this essential task. Unfortunately the government is not always punctual in their payments to the organization and for long periods they are completely dependent on donations. The state subsidy is not sufficient to meet the ever increasing needs. Since 2008 the CMR has been involved with Sango Village and does foster parent selection and child court cases. They also attempt to address the social needs of the area by taking responsibility for the feeding scheme, nursery school, school clothes project, clothes and counseling.
On 6 July the Rotary Club of Middelburg donated 130 blankets to the orphaned and vulnerable children in this village.
