DIE NUWE TUISTE VIR KOSMOS IS PLOT 42,MOSSIESTRAAT, ONDERSTEPOORT, PRETORIA. DRUK HIER VIR SKAKEL NA DIE NUWE WEBTUISTE EN OPGEDATEERDE INFORMASIE.


Currently, Kosmos has approximately 65 residents on average, most of whom are physically and / or mentally disabled, single men and woman, aids / cancer patients, patients recovering from illnesses and the old and helpless cast-a-ways of our society. None of these people have families who are able to care for them.

Without institutions like Kosmos the above mentioned people would have to find shelter in parks, railway stations, police stations etc. and they would have to beg on street corners for their daily substance.

Kosmos Care Centre not only supports our own residents but also reaches out to the community to assuage the suffering.

We have, currently, under our care, many more mouths than we normally can feed. We never refuse anybody truly in need of help. These people come here broken and lonely and in desperate need of help. When we do take them in, we have to feed them and have to shuttle them to and fro hospitals and clinics for medication and psychological help.

In the 11 years of our existence an average of 6000 people were either directly or indirectly helped by Kosmos Care Centre. That is an enormous amount of people who were fed, clothed, cared for, [medically, physically & mentally]. All at enormous expenses which we thought never possible to achieve, yet, we have succeeded against all odds. None of this would have been achieved without the donations kindly given by private individuals, the private sector and our business community. Ultimately people like you. Please help us to maintain our record by supporting us through a donation of your choice.

We would like this opportunity to invite you to join us for a cup of tea on our premises in order for you to experience first-hand the commitment we have towards serving our community. Unlike other institutions, ours is ALWAYS an open invitation. Our gates open at 04.30am every morning and close at 20.00pm for the protection of our residents. Please feel free to visit. We always appreciate the personal touch, our residents thrive on the little attention that they receive from outsiders, it proofs to us that all is not lost, that there are still people out there who really care.

Should you require a map please do not hesitate to contact us with a fax number, in order for us to forward you a copy.

We hereby thank you for your understanding and kind support.
Ben Brand [HR & Fund-raising]
