Being healthy and well-nourished is a prerequisite to learning and quality of life. Christel House South Africa provides a solid nutritional foundation serving two healthy meals and a late afternoon snack every day. For many learners, this will be their only nourishment.
In addition, each child receives regular medical and dental checkups, hearing and vision screenings, immunizations in accordance with World Health Organization standards and further medical treatments as required. Social workers and mental health professionals help children overcome psychological barriers to their success.
The biggest obstacle related to poverty is emotional trauma. So to fight that trauma, we create dreams.
