We operate as an all-volunteer Committee partnering with social workers, therapists, and clinicians to establish the needs of hospital and clinic patients. We are SARS-approved and a Section 18A provider. Our three main initiatives are:

Bread For Life:

This feeding scheme serves adults and children warm, nutritious meals at clinics for treatment. More than just meals, this programme helps:
  • Encourage treatment adherence
  • Strengthen the immune system
  • Support recovery and well-being

Hospital Necessities:

We support inpatients at hospitals and clinics, with essentials like toiletries, hygiene products, recovery aids, and donated clothing — from baby grows to adult wear. We assist occupational therapy departments with supplies for patients recovering from surgery, burns, strokes, and other injuries.

We purchase key items monthly:

  • soap, toothpaste, creams, baby products, toys and sanitary supplies
  • vital hygiene items that bring comfort and dignity.

Transport Grants:

We provide transport grants for patients who cannot afford travel to essential hospital or clinic appointments. Managed by social workers and clinicians, these grants ensure support reaches the most vulnerable — helping patients access urgent, often lifesaving, treatment despite long distances and high costs.
