Badisa received a grant from the NLC Pro-Active Fund to renovate Huis Emmanuel, a residential facility for frail older persons in Williston, Northern Cape. 

This home primarily serves residents who rely on state grants and is located in a rural community with very limited resources. The grant was essential for renovating and repairing the facility, ensuring a safe and healthy environment for its residents. 

With these critical upgrades, Huis Emmanuel now meets the minimum standards for old age homes. For many years, management struggled to maintain the building due to a lack of funding. This grant has significantly improved the sustainability of Huis Emmanuel’s infrastructure, and it has also reinforced the home’s role as a valuable resource in the community.
