Cabrini Ministries The Missionary Sisters have been serving at St. Philip's Mission in the lowveld region of Swaziland since 1971. Today, they continue to serve at the mission running the healthcare services, the outreaches and boarding hostels, as well as teaching in the school and providing skills training. In recent years, efforts have been made to respond to the HIV/AIDS pandemic in Swaziland by expanding their services to include: Cabrini Hostel - established to care for the high rate of children orphaned by AIDS. Many of the children are compromised by malnutrition and chronic conditions such as TB and kidney disease. Agriculture - in 2005, Cabrini Ministries established an agricultural project. This project provides water for food and helps to create a sustainable income for approximately 200 people, in addition to serving the children at the hostel. Home Based Care - Started with a grant from the Bristol-Myers-Squibb Foundation, the Home Based Care program focuses on caring for the sick and dying; testing for HIV; helping people begin treatment and transporting people to the hospital to receive treatment. Education - The educational program began over fifteen years ago when it was discovered that many children in the homesteads were not in school and their families could not afford to send them. With the assistance of the Swiss Solon Foundation, once the children are on the foundation grant, their education is guaranteed through 7th grade if they pass. This increases their chances for individualized growth and better employment opportunities. |
