Caring for Carers

Metaha vakwetu

Blaundina served the Red Cross as a Home Based Care supervisor since 2006. She has been an ambassador of hope for many people who came to her for advice regarding their HIV status. She is assisting with taking care of the orphans and vulnerable children in the community and at the Omapitiro weyuva class every Friday.

She left her house in Opuwo to stay at the Orphans and vulnerable children's garden which is at least 3km out of town. She is staying with her 2 daughters, Rina and Paulina who are both in school.

Blaundina is expecting her baby in June. The single mother of 2 is challenged with the big decision of whether she has to breastfeed her baby for at least 6 month due to her HIV status. She has not been receiving her supervisor's allowance of N$500 since January this year due to lack of funds.

It is now time for her to be taken care of.
