Give

There are various ways that you can get involved and help bring positive change to the patients and staff at Khayelitsha District Hospital (KDH).

Sandwich Drive

Those coming daily to the KDH Outpatients Department arrive very early and have a long wait in the clinic, often without having had any food.

 

Would you consider making sandwiches for our outpatients - possibly together with a few: 

  • Friends 

  • Colleagues

  • Classmates

  • Family

 

Could you commit to making 180 sandwiches:

  • Once off

  • Once a month

  • Once a week

 

You could also support this project by donating items:

  • 18 loaves of bread

  • 4x1kg peanut butter

  • 3,5 tins of apricot jams

  • 1 large tin of Ricoffy

  • 6 Litres of long-life milk

  • 9 boxes fruit (eg. naartjies, apples)

                                 

Options:

  • Giving funds to cover the costs (R2000 per Sandwich Drive)

  • Making sandwiches that we come to collect from you

  • Making sandwiches that you and your ‘team’ come and hand out at KDH and see firsthand the appreciation from patients

Making Packs

We are always in need of toiletry, baby and food packs. Please consider making up the packs yourself, using the lists we provide. Where possible, we could arrange that you join us on a day when the packs are handed out.

Staff Appreciation Tea

Ideally once a month we choose a department in the hospital and host a tea for the staff to encourage and thank them for all the work they have been doing.

 

When:

Usually held on the last Thursday of each month

 

How many people:

We average on 50 people attending per tea

 

How you could partner with us in this project:

  • Get a group of friends and bake at home, and we will collect the eats

  • Buy eats that we collect 

  • Sponsor a tea for a month (R3000 per tea party)

  • Come and host the tea party: supply, serve and thank the staff yourself - you could choose a department that is close to your heart to support

Knitting or Crocheting

We have over 400 newborns arriving every month at Khayelitsha District Hospital! We like to bless each baby with a beanie. We also support KDH’s Breast Clinic with knitted prosthetic breasts – these are slightly more complex to knit than the beanies!
