WHO WE ARE
Hands of Mercy
Hands of Mercy is still sending out parcels of infection control supplies to the outlying areas of Natal, and we have had feedback from grateful folk who have ministered to dying patients and have really been able to help them with supplies—we pray this ministry will continue and expand, as we have a chance to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Please continue to pray for all that is needed for a large project such as this, and for stamina for staff, healing for the sick.
" The Lord is close to the brokenhearted. "
-Psalm 34:18
KZN Aids home gets support
HE British Consulate-General and the South African Post Office (Sapo) have teamed up to assist a home for Aids orphans in a move that will help in getting infection control supplies to the rural areas of KwaZulu-Natal.
Shepherds Keep, situated on the Bluff, has been handed funds under the British Small Grant Scheme for their Hands of Mercy programme. Sapo will donate 1000 boxes normally used for mailing parcels.
Home co-founder Mr Colin Pratley, said the grant would help train counsellors and facilitate relief medicines. Pratley said although the project was being initiated in KwaZulu-Natal, it was hoped that it would grow to a national level.
“Because KZN is the Aids hot-spot, we are tackling the problem here first. We know the project is going to work because we have a solid work management system and accountability.”
National level
Shepherd's Keep is registered as a section 21 public benefit company as well as a non-profit organisation.
"Through our experiences in the province we know we have to expand and focus on the bigger picture, and that could never be possible without the assistance of the British Consulate."
David Pearce, British Consul General, said that the small grant scheme supported mainly HIV/Aids programmes that were being run in the province.
