Organisation aims to empower THE newly-formed non-profit organisation Courage Health aims to provide an indispensable cornerstone for rendering services to vulnerable people, including those with disabilities. The organisation was formed this year by six youthful women from Thabong. It will be launched on 10 November at a function in Thabong. The founding members are Corbniah Mohapi (organiser), Sisimogang Setlogelo (chairperson), Matshediso Mariri (deputy chairperson), Matseleng Rantai (secretary), Boitumelo Mmuagabo (deputy secretary) and Nomathemba Chokochela (treasurer). All the members are unemployed and they said the formation of the organisation had served them in good stead for empowerment. Setlogelo said the formation of the organisation had been borne out of necessity to provide social assistance towards vulnerable people, both young and old as well as those with disabilities. “Social assistance continues to form an important part of our society. We daily see
scores of people suffering with poor living conditions and lack of proper services. “We formed this organisation to provide essential services to people in need. We are going to form partnerships with public and private sector entities in serving the community,” she said. Setlogelo said their immediate challenge was training on how to handle people with chronic conditions, strokes, hypertension and diabetics as well as cancer. Rantai, the secretary, said during the formation phase of the organisation they had conducted door-to-door visits to profile persons with chronic conditions noting down problems that residents had encountered. “These comments and concerns will be forwarded to the Department of Social Development which we are going into partnership with. We are appealing for assistance in funding and equipment in order to enable us to render services,” said Rantai. Anyone willing to help can contact Rantai on 060-467-0113.
