RMA care facility touching more lives.png

Our Care Facility, in Welkom, Free State for pensioners and beneficiaries with occupational injuries was officially opened on 18 April 2016.  The facility was built to ensure that our beneficiaries get specialised care after experiencing life changing injuries. 

Since its opening, the facility has expanded its mandate from just taking care of beneficiaries to providing skills development programmes. The programmes are meant to uplift, reskill and educate our beneficiaries, their families and members of the community. 

Currently the facility runs two programmes:

  • Sewing skills development
  • Computer skills development

Each course enrols 20 leaners for a six weeks period where they are given an opportunity to acquire new skills of NQF level 2 that they can use to improve their own lives.

To date, the sewing programme has benefitted 72 learners and 11 of these are RMA beneficiaries, while the computer programme has befitted 60 learners and 8 of these are RMA beneficiaries.  

The skills development programmes have been highly welcomed by the community of Welkom, this is because of the number of lives that are being positively affected by it.

The next graduation ceremony for the current group of learners will be held on 7 December 2018, the ceremony will take place at the Care Facility.
