 History of HBC service delivery The CN began in 1991 by training in community caring skills in Catholic parishes of Cape Town, under the auspices of Catholic Welfare and Development. By 1996 the focus had shifted to under-resourced communities, the encroaching HIV epidemic and thus home based care training in co-operation with Red Cross. Each year over a hundred unemployed women were trained and went on to work in CN, other NGOs, the private sector, or to further study. Caring Network became independent in 2000. In the period under review CN developed a home-based care coalition, mobilising the sector; developed an HR management framework for use by the sector; trained three groups of traditional healers/amaqhirha; offered training workshops in 4 rural areas, including KZN; mentored 6 organisations to implement HBC; monitored and evaluated 6 others and supported these in organisation development and funding proposal writing.. The organisation has continued to make a meaningful impact in poor and depressed communities by offering an opportunity to escape unemployment and grinding poverty through its training and service delivery program in partnership with DOH, caring for the sick. |
