Welfare & Humanitarian Development

KwaNomzamo HCBC

The Kouga Wind Farm Community Development Trust (KWFCDT) is proud to collaborate with KwaNomzamo Home Community-Based Care (HCBC), a local non-profit organisation dedicated to providing essential healthcare and nutritional support to vulnerable community members.

This partnership is a key part of the Trust’s Welfare and Humanitarian Development Pillar, aimed at creating thriving, resilient, empowered, and sustainable communities.

The KwaNomzamo HCBC Project exemplifies the KWFCDT’s unwavering commitment to improving lives. Through strategic partnerships and targeted interventions, the Trust continues to lead impactful initiatives that foster resilience, dignity, and sustainability for the Kouga community.

Addressing Nutrition and Basic Needs

The KwaNomzamo HCBC initiative focuses on ensuring that vulnerable individuals, including the chronically ill, elderly, malnourished children, orphaned households, and child-headed families, have access to nutritious food.

Recent efforts include: Distribution of food parcels, provision of nutritious soup, support with nutritional supplements and disposable nappies, and, gifting of blankets to 20 elderly community members, offering comfort and care during the colder months.

By addressing fundamental needs like nutrition, the Trust actively combats poverty and hunger.

Enhancing Primary Healthcare Services

As part of this collaboration, the Trust donated a safe and secure medication storage facility valued at over R50,000, enabling KwaNomzamo HCBC to become a pre-approved pickup point for the Central Chronic Medicines Dispensing and Distribution (CCMDD) programme.

This initiative benefits 350 patients by providing them with a convenient location to collect their chronic medication, alleviating long queues at the KwaNomzamo Clinic and improving access to primary healthcare services.
