Our current partners include:
ANNEXURE A - Outreach and Development Programmes 2011One of REEA’s aims is the development of a multifaceted outreach programmes. Preference will be given to previously disadvantaged individuals.
We currently have four Outreach and Development programmes:
Equine TherapyREEA offers Equine Therapy in partnership with Egoli Rangers and Nazareth House, a home for children under 12 living with or affected by HIV/Aids. Each week a group of children from Nazareth House are hosted by the Egoli Rangers, with some of the children receiving horse riding lessons and others enjoying a picnic and other activities.
Horse riding is excellent therapy for these children as it provides all of the health benefits of gentle exercise, such as stimulated circulation and boosted metabolism. It is also a pleasurable and soothing activity that has many positive effects. For these young children who have experience grief and have often lost the joy of living, the weekly interactions with the horses and the exercise and other activities are a source of hope and happiness. Eco Agriculture Food Security ProgrammeThe Eco Agriculture Food Security Programme is aimed at empowering previously disadvantaged individuals with the skills they need to grow their own food and other plants as well as how to create a livelihood from this skill.
This 12 month skills programme has space for 20 individuals each year. Lessons are held once a week at the REEA vegetable gardens, and participants learn how to:
Day Care ProgrammeThe Day Care Programme is aimed at both residents of the REEA Foundation and families with adults who suffer from mild neurological disorders.
Launched in October 2011, the Day Care Programme is currently co-ordinated by Deona Brough and provides stimulation through various activities and outings. The Day Care Programme allows families of day residents to ensure that their wards are being well cared for and looked after during the day, and receive the right stimulation. Programmes offered during the week include:
Literacy Outreach ProgrammeThe REEA Reader Bookshop runs a Literacy Outreach Programme, overseen by a qualified teacher with many years of experience, which encourages children to read by giving them access to books, enabling them to develop this vital skill and enjoy reading as a recreational and educational activity.
We offer young readers a selection of suitable books on a monthly basis, and are in the process of developing an educational component to our programme, by supplying project matter or books specific to the development of literacy.
We believe that by encouraging children to read from an early age we can foster in them a love for knowledge, and one of our current programmes is run at the Philile pre-school in Hillbrow where we look after 53 children between the ages of three and six years old.
