Bridgman Centre welcomes the HIVSA team who have already started their work for the community of our neighbouring townships – Zola, Jabulani and Moletsane. They specialise in training mothers/grandmother on a programme called Prevention of Mother to child Transmission of HIV (PMTCT). Their focus is to train mothers and grandmothers in ensuring that the spread of HIV is prevented as much as possible. The grandmothers are trained to be of assistance to young mothers who become pregnant without experience of caring for their children. This training comes extremely necessary if the mothers are HIV positive.
These are some of our senior citizen who come to the centre three times a week for physicla training and fellowship. They were hand-picket to be the pioneers of PMTCT programmes. They are an active 'lot' wouldn't you say?
HIVSA trainers come twice a week at Bridgman and train the ladies AND gentlemen on how to spread the 'gospel' to the many mothers who may be ignorant of the facts about HIV and Aids.
Bridgman centre continues to serve the needs of the communities it serves.
