We can't expect people to care properly for their animals if their own basic needs are not being met. This realisation hit us in the early days of Funda Nenja's existence and since then we have done as much as possible to follow a One Welfare approach when working in the township.
When funding and manpower permits, we offer food support to those Funda Nenja families who are identified by our social worker as having a real need. Vegetable packs, basic groceries and dog food are delivered by our outreach staff on their weekly home visits in the community.
By helping families we can also help animals as our lives are closely interlinked.
