Home Based Care

The Home Based Care programme aims to provide domestic help for HIV/AIDS patients as well as the vulnerable erderly within Bahasi's catchement area. The department has also conducted awareness campaigns on HIV/AIDS stigma and discrimination.

Every week we visit around 6 families within the community and offer mental and physical health support. In Bangwe there are many elderly and chronically ill people who are struggling to sustain themselves and their families. At BAHASI we try to offer as much support as we can, but due to lack of resources usually we can only provide psychosocial support. There is a great need in our community for food, medical help, safe living spaces and hygine products to help families become self-sufficient. We need your help to give these vulnerable families a brighter future.

Money donated to this program will go to necessary living expenses of our Home Based Care patients as well as providing medical supplies. 

We would like to tell the story of one of our vulnerable erlderly people and how BAHASI has provided help for them. 

These two photographs are taken two years apart.

BAHASI has been going to visit Lemosi Khudeyi's house (M, 83) for the last 2 years. He initially told us of his knee pains and issues with walking leaving him bound to a chair or bed, not being able to walk to bathe or eat. On this day (2022) BAHASI provided a kilo of sugar and two bars of soap as well as a commitment to help provide painkillers and help more in the future. As you can see (pictured, 2024) Mr Khudeyi is walking again and BAHASI was actually able to help him get medical care and continue to sustain his family. On this day a team from Go TV came with BAHASI representatives to Mr Khudeyi's house to share his story and our work with the Home Based Care programme.

In 2024 we have committed to visiting some of the vulnerable homes in Bangwe- offering our support and sharing our limmited resources.

We have recently had a generous donation of mosquito nets, from Family Health Service (FHS), that we have been able to distrubute to some of the most vulnerable in our community.

If you want to help us to continue to be a pillar of hope in our commuity, please consider donating to our Home Based Care programme, so we can provide life changing care.
