Rescue for the Desperate

Building the Social Services Department

Cabrini Ministries is a distinguished catholic Relief Organisation, being active in Swaziland for over 40 years. The center is located in the hot, dry lowveld in the country in a very remote area. It supports many desperate people in this area, fighting AIDS-related illnesses, hunger or lack of access to education, water, and assistance.
However, the Organisation realized that it lacked of a Social Services Department which would be able to reach out to the very sick at home or the powerless who are trapped at thier home.
Thanks to this project, Cabrini Ministries now develops its social department with a social worker, a nurse and a psychologist. These professionals identify and visit families and children in distress and can provide them with direct help. They can treat traumatized children and link them to a variety of services at the centre.
All people in need are being helped, regardless of their religious affiliation or their background.
