Specialised Feeding Schemes WARMTH is also involved in a feeding scheme for infants who are unable to benefit from breast milk and are too small to benefit from the WARMTH community kitchens. The average length of assistance is five months. WARMTH has been able to help at least 500 babies maintain age appropriate growth this year. WARMTH “clinic” supplements the valuable work done by the local health clinics and day hospitals that focus on the child whose weight falls below the lower third percentile, suffering from severe malnutrition. Mothers are referred to WARMTH from the local clinics, day hospitals, community organisations and the Cape Town Red Cross Children’s Hospital. |
Training Training is an important part of the work done at WARMTH - helping to turn the kitchens into self-reliant community services. Monthly regional meetings are held with all the kitchen operators to address local concerns, general training needs and to reimburse each kitchen for the coupons received. Coupons are given to those who cannot afford even the small price charged for the kitchen meals. The catering workshops are still the most popular event amongst the kitchen operators where they are taught how to record the number of meals served and other data.
