The project, which was initiated in 2016, was aimed at assisting seven members of the Rooigrond community who provide home-based care to ailing, disadvantaged members of the community.
A big part of the care-taker’s mandate is making sure that their patients comply with their medication stipulations. For this to happen, they have to provide balanced meals for their patients to take with their medication and through this project, they are able to provide fresh, healthy vegetables to balance their diet. Although the project was officially handed over to the beneficiaries, Bastion and Thobo Trust will continue to work together with them and provide the necessary support and advice to ensure longevity and sustainable development of the project.
