Care for all in need
The New Image Rover Crew is dedicated to helping those in need through the services they offer.
The non-profit organisation was started in 1997 after it became evident that the communities of Springs and Kwatsaduza were in dire need of help.
The main focus of the organisation is to provide home-based care to those living with or affected by HIV/Aids and giving emotional support to the families that are affected.
Orphans and vulnerable children are at the top of the list as beneficiaries of food parcels, as well as clothing or goods that the organisation is able to collect.
Caregivers are assigned to families where they take care of the sick, abused and vulnerable on a voluntary basis.
Key roles
Some of the key roles of the organisation include:
- Provision of home care services like bathing, feeding, counselling and administering of medicine to patients.
- Mentorship of family members on how to care for the sick.
- Providing bereavement support through counselling.
- Educating the community on disease prevention.
- Promoting quality healthcare in the community.
- Conducting health promotion campaigns targeted mainly at informal settlements.
- Identifying orphaned and vulnerable children.
- Provision of emotional, spiritual and material support for families in distress.
- Help establish support groups within the community.
- Educate and counsel people on HIV, sexually transmitted infections, TB and other infections.
- Help facilitate capacity building sessions on income generating projects.
