When you see the Cystic Fibrosis logo on our site, 80% of the profit from the sale goes to the Cysic Fibrosis Trust Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is the UK's most common life-threatening inherited disease. Cystic Fibrosis affects over 8,000 people in the UK. Over two million people in the UK carry the faulty gene that causes Cystic Fibrosis - around 1 in 25 of the population. Cystic Fibrosis affects the internal organs, especially the lungs and digestive system, by clogging them with thick sticky mucus. This makes it hard to breathe and digest food. Each week, five babies are born with Cystic Fibrosis. Each week, three young lives are lost to Cystic Fibrosis. Average life expectancy is around 31 years, although improvements in treatments mean a baby born today could expect to live for longer.
Nazareth House provides a secure and happy home for abandoned, neglected, disabled and orphaned children – many of whom are the innocent victims of poverty and the HIV & AIDS pandemic. They were the first Children's Home in the Western Cape to accept an HIV infected baby, and he still lives with us today. Wherever possible, Their aim is to stabilise and reunite these children with their families, through their family reunification programme, or to place them in loving foster care. Those that remain permanently with them are mainly children with special needs and disabilities, such as severe Foetal Alcohol Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, intellectual disability, Down Syndrome, deafness, blindness and epilepsy. Children receive holistic care, ensuring their emotional, medical, educational, nutritional and social needs are met to the fullest extent. Although we receive a government subsidy for each child in their care, but the amount falls far short of the actual cost of caring for little ones with special needs, and they rely on donations from caring individuals and companies to help make ends meet.
