The South African Department of Health have appointed five participants, who have been working under the Community Work Programme (CWP) in Pietermaritzburg for the last year. They will take up their positions as Community Health Care workers, as of July 2011.

These hardworking ladies took part in the Red Cross Training in Msunduzi, where they attained their certificates for completing level one in First Aid. They regard their new job opportunity as an outcome of their productive contribution to the CWP, and will always be appreciative to Teba Development and Lima for providing them with employment during a time when they lacked appropriate skills to find work elsewhere. Since 2007, the CWP has been a stepping stone to new work opportunities for most of its participants.

The above CWP participants eagerly await the commencement of their new positions as Community Health Care workers.
