Jacaranda FM’s very own Sascha van Gelder reached out to Good Morning Angels to assist Pediatric Care Africa's Burns Unit - a project that is very close to her heart since her own son was a burn victim at only 18 months old.

Winter is coming and with it, the need for warmth. For many South Africans, this means fires, paraffin stoves and heaters, which increase the danger of burns and injury - especially for children.

In Mpumalanga, there is currently no paediatric burns unit at a state facility, to cater for young burns patients whose parents cannot afford private health care, but this is about to change!

The Lowveld-based NPO Pediatric Care Africa has been raising funds and putting in the hours and skills to set up a paediatric burns unit next to the paediatric surgery unit at Rob Ferreira Hospital in Mbombela.

"All Children have the absolute right to a healthy life. Everyone should have access to health care, without financial, social, cultural or geographical barriers,” says Dr André Hatting, founder of Pediatric Care Africa.

Dr Hatting has designed or built 12 hospitals in different parts of Africa, so he knows what is needed and how it should be done. However, this is a self-funded project, that they have been able to mostly complete. They are still in need of a few key items, like specialised steel baths and glass doors, to prevent bacteria and germs from reaching future vulnerable patients. They also need funding for consumables and rehab of little patients.

That's why Jacaranda FM’s own Sascha van Gelder reached out to Good Morning Angels on behalf of this project, which turns out to be very close to her heart... GMA webpage
