Social Care and Palliative Care Support for Africa and south-east Asia

 

Defining the Mission of Social Care:

Social care is a livelihood. A livelihood comprises people and the facilities for all the amount of help that aims to sustain the people’s lives, to enhance life expectancy rate. In all Africa and the south-east Asia the changing life expectancy rate is posing a great difficulty for statistics.

This is not a result from age or disability alone but also the sickening presence of ‘social care poverty’ and HIV/AIDS.

If most of social care of individuals is in the family, what would be left of the resources of the family to engage in more economically productive activity?

SCW is finding a solution to any reason for: ‘To what extent is the lack of social care infrastructures implicated in persisting poverty?’ A major source of poverty is people’s powerlessness - not just their distance from government, or ‘trade justice’ or insufficient international assistance. No. It is their inability to focus on ‘real’ development activities. They have been unable because it is the family that carries the burden of social care of the old, the young and the disabled inside their own homes, with their meagre income. Social Care World will provide the help and support they need to lessen the burden of social care, and in doing so, SCW is
  • highlighting the special need for social care infrastructures as a means of sustainable livelihoods.
  • designing capacity building programmes that will give grounds for and guidance to provide the opportunities to recover from disadvantage, and maintain quality of live over- time.
Our Funders and Supporters will have a more realistic understanding of the extent of combination of traditional ‘care’ cultures with modern social care practice.


It is in your power to point the way to a more sustainable life!

Defining the Mission of Palliative Care:


Our commitment is providing as much help as possible to operators in Africa and south-east Asia. Such help and support to them to continue to formulate and implement development strategies of palliative care, in the light of and suited to their conditions - strategies that can activate all possible factors and achieve the most satisfactory outcomes. The objective being to increase their capability to self-reliance, and promote collaborative multi-disciplinary approach to this area of care practices.


The extended family system, in Africa, was meant for support of every member of the extended family. The demise of the extended family system required unrelenting development of family-care support systems. Palliative care will be supported in hospices or home care because it is one of such care systems that support the family. The complete and self-satisfying care system lessening the person’s fears, is not only person-orientated, but considers the family in the event of death. Such care that includes physical, mental, palliative, psychosocial and spiritual activities should be supported.


It is true that conditions varied from country to country in the developing world, for the level of seriousness to enhance quality of life, and development strategies suited to one country may not necessarily be suitable for another. SCW is working to harmonize the different levels of social and palliative care practices in Africa and south-east Asia.
