Griqua People’s Heritage Senior Club
Griqua People’s Heritage Senior Club is situated on Farm 371, Gong Gong, a lower income, rural, area.
All Lives Have Equal Value
We are now focusing on caring for frail persons older than 60 years. After initiating discussions for assistance from the relevant authorities it became abundantly clear that the community had to take care of the elderly into our own hands.
Older persons are vulnerable in the community as a result of a lifetime of hardship, high susceptibility to chronic diseases and the ageing process itself. Some are dependent on careers for survival. An increasing number of people above the age of 60 need support due to, high unemployment and therefore older persons are abused by their families demanding their pension. Old Age Pension is sometimes the family’s only source of income. Also due to the high cost of living, the lower income groups can no longer afford to pay for their own housing and basic needs.
The club is managed and is authorised by an independent mangament committee led by the Administrator of the Club. The adminisitrator reports to the Directors of Griqua People’s Heritage NPC on a quarterly basis. The Club has an independent banking account through which all financial transactions are conducted. A bookkeeper and auditors control the financial aspects of the Club.
