FOSTER HOME PORT ALFRED

website Foster Home port AlfredDuring our last visit  in October/November, Nemato Foundation became heavily involved in the welfare of the children of the foster home Port Alfred, a project of Child Welfare Port Alfred. In the 2 houses at this time 10 children ( age from 3-15)  are living with their 2 Foster Mothers. The children can stay untill they reach the age of 18.

The contribution from the Government has stopped and so together with Child Welfare the plan is created to financial adopt these children. Nemato Foundation offers this oppertunity from 1-1-2016. Already 4 children are financial adopted by some of our volunteers. If someone is interested to adopt or wants more information about the subject, please email Ellen Fober ( This email address is being protected from spambots.

We also organized some activitys for the children during our stay. On a saturday afternoon we face painted the children and took them to a indoor playground in Port Alfred where they could play for 2 hours. It was so great to see that the kids enjoyed themselves so much!! After the playing we went to Spur for a nice meal together. The youngest of the children was so exhausted that he felt asleep before the meal arrived.

Also in 2016 the Nemato Foundation will continue to treat the children for a visit to the indoor playground. The kids need it so much.

INGUBO Children's Haven

 2015 03 27 Ingubo veiligeplek projINGUBO iwas established in 2006. It is an organisation to keep children away from the dumpsite and streets. They provide a safe place for them to play and learn and the oppertunity to go to school. Because of this the children  have a better future perspective. INGUBO wants to be a place where children are able to be children again.They give the children ( at this moment 36 children, ranging from the age of 4 to 22 years of age) a safe environment after school to play and learn. 

2015 03 27 Ingubo

 We support INGUBO  providing school uniforms when necessary and we support them with food, so that the children can have at least one healthy meal a day.

 

INGUBO schooluniforms

schooluniformenA requirement for a child to attend school is to wear a school uniform. Because of the fact that most of the kids who are coming to INGUBO lives in the poorest parts of the Nemato township, there is no money for school uniforms.

In February we were very happy to be able to provide 15 kids with school unifirms and shoes.

 

INGUBO Wendy House

There was even an article in the newspaper  "Talk of the Town" about the painting and  the support of Nemato Foundation Netherlands.
