Rand Aid Social React

Our Social React Division focuses on older persons who face an uncertain and difficult future due to financial or social disadvantage. This target group is often neglected in a country challenged to provide adequate resources for a young and growing population.

As a result, the hardship suffered by older persons is heart-rending. The Social React Division also offers an essential substance abuse treatment service, a need for which few affordable resources exist. Our range of services includes the following:

• Thembalami Care Centre providing frail care services for persons in need of 24 hour nursing care, and sheltered accommodation to males with no abode.

• Tarentaal Village, comprising 300 housing units for rent by ambulant older persons.

• Wedge Gardens Treatment Centre where male persons with substance abuse problems can participate in rehabilitation programmes that will enable them to take their rightful place in society again.

• After care services for substance abusers.
