The Walton Social Foundation has given itself the mandate to build and administer a palliative care home on the territory of South Africa. The house will have the capacity to accommodate 15 patients, including a pediatric clientele. The Foundation aims to open the doors of the palliative care home at the end of 2023.
The benefits of opening a palliative care home in the region are incalculable, both in terms of medical care and the human aspect: The proximity of the service, which allows the accompaniment of loved ones, a peaceful and comforting environment for live their last moments there with serenity and dignity, free services (accommodation, care, parking, etc.), the quality of care, both for the patient and for the relatives (ratio of nursing staff to 1/4 patients, support psychological, respite, etc.).
Fundamental right, health and education allows children to protect themselves against poverty and exploitation of all types. The school sponsorship set up by our foundation contributes to financing the education and professional training of hundreds of children and young people every year until their professional integration.
