Uitenhage Baptist Church – under Reverend Paul Witter Uitenhage Baptist Church
Physical address: 10 Dodd Road, Levyvale, Uitenhage Dora Langbooi Aged 55, single, volunteered to be a care worker affiliated to the Uitenhage Baptist Church in December 2002. She has not only dedicated her life to looking after orphaned children, but has taken them into her home as her family, adding her maternal lover over and above the norm. Dora has in fact made provision for her adopted siblings by ensuring that her house becomes theirs and others like them, if anything had to happen to her. Dora has 4 girls and 3 boys living with her at present and has a further 10 children as day borders. At present Dora and her 7 children share a double and 2 single beds and could do with four double bunks and bedding to ease the situation. Dora has extended her home thanks to a kind donation from a British visitor and assistance is also needed to finish the tiling, erect burglar bars and fence in her yard. All the children are HIV positive, nutrition and immune building supplements are essential daily to alleviate the drastic side effects related to antiretroviral drugs. Requirements - 4 x double bunks, mattresses and linen R5000.00
- Fencing the yard R3000.00
To supply proper nutrition daily to each child on a sustainable basis for a year, for these children, being in a wellness situation would call for the doubling up of portions served. - R0.50c x 2 x 365 = R365.00 per child x 17 children = R6205.00 per annum
- Southerlandia capsules 1 per child per day x 365 days x 17 children = 6205 capsules divided by 60 capsules per tub = 104 tubs rounded up at R69.00 per tub = R7176.00 per annum
To sponsor the adopted 7 children per month – the calculation is based on the following breakdown for an individual child on a monthly basis - Medical attention
- Trips to the doctor to have their CD4 count and viral load monitored
- Purchasing of medication other than antiretroviral drugs
- Education
- Monthly school fees
- Uniforms
- Stationery
- Bus fair
- General
- R1150.00 per child x 7 x 12 months = R96,900.00
