The Elderly Fund was born out of
the will and concern of Sister Aparecida, a Local ALG Partner in the Chongoene area.
She asked us to support the elderly people isolated in the rural areas. These
elderly generally have health problems and Sister Aparecida always found time
to check on them and to see if they needed anything. Thus, on a meeting with ALG
she mentioned her concern for this group and we decided to help them.
Thanks to a regular donor in
Portugal it is possible to guarantee the financing of feeding expenses for these
twelve elderly people. Every month, Sister Aparecida visits them and gives them
a basic basket with rice, sugar, peanuts, oil, pieces of soap, beans, tea,
corn, salt, chicken or fish, bread, batteries for their radios and sometimes
juice.
These elderly people’s joy for receiving a monthly
visit from someone who can help them is indescribable!
