{"id":30,"count":7,"description":"Children with disabilities have a hard time in South Africa. There are hardly any places where they are supported in the way they need in their special situation. One of the few facilities for children with disabilities in South Africa is the \"Elim Home\". This is a support center where professional and loving all-day care is guaranteed.\r\n<h4>Several partners work together<\/h4>\r\nThe project is led by the organization Evangelical Mission in Solidarity, Mission 21 contributes to the funding. The local partner organization is the Moravian Church in South Africa.\r\n<h4>Children receive targeted support<\/h4>\r\nThe Elim Home was founded in 1963 to help children with disabilities in particular, for whom there were no institutions to support them during the apartheid era. Unlike for \"white\" children, there were no care facilities for \"colored\" children with mental disabilities at that time. Even today, there are very few facilities, so the children come from a radius of 700 kilometers. The aim of the facility is not only to look after the children, but also to provide them with targeted support. The residents of the Elim Home learn basic skills in order to become more independent in simple everyday activities.\r\n<h4>Integration in everyday life<\/h4>\r\nThe facility is located in the old Elim mission station, about 220 kilometers east of Cape Town. In the meantime, there is day care in the towns of Gansbaai and Bredasdorp, where children are supported from Monday to Friday by therapists and also by specially trained parents. Through this new program, more children can be reached. In addition, they remain integrated in their family and social structures.","link":"https:\/\/www.mission-21.org\/en\/land\/afrika\/suedafrika\/","name":"South Africa","slug":"south-africa","taxonomy":"land","parent":62,"meta":[],"acf":{"landcode":"ZA","spende-link":"","alternative_karte":10120},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mission-21.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/land\/30","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mission-21.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/land"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mission-21.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/land"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mission-21.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/land\/62"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mission-21.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?land=30"},{"href":"https:\/\/www.mission-21.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/partner?land=30"},{"href":"https:\/\/www.mission-21.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projekte?land=30"},{"href":"https:\/\/www.mission-21.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/team?land=30"},{"href":"https:\/\/www.mission-21.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/veranstaltung?land=30"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
