Lunga, 3 months old, is one of our smallest Chips patients and receives lots of love from Mkhulu Stephens.
Ian and Mary talk with Mkhulu Shandu.
Mkhulu (which means grandfather) is in his 60's and has been a Chips patient for 2 years. He suffers from HIV and mal-nutrition. Last year, he had hip surgery and is having a hard time getting around. He lives alone, with neighbors checking on him at times. We were able to leave him a food parcel about a month ago.
Mkhulu Shandu had a couple of other needs, thick woolly socks to keep his feet warm in the cold winter nights and batteries for his alarm clock. He relies on his alarm clock to alert him when it's time to take his ARV's. The batteries, which we were able to give him, only cost $0.50 USD which isn't a lot of money until you don't have any money at all.
Our elderly are just as vulnerable as the young children. Providing medicine and food for the elderly and children are our prime focus.
