The majority of South Africans in these areas have limited access to social services and health care. Approximately 19% of Soweto\u2019s population earns no income and relies on government support. Consequently, malnutrition is one of the main causes of child mortality reported by CHAMPS. CHAMPS seeks to assist in addressing some of these socio-economic and health challenges by linking families to the relevant government departments, as and when the need arises during routine community and household visits. This includes referring individuals and households to the Department of Home Affairs (DOH) for assistance with birth certificates or identity documents. Referrals are also made to social workers in the councilors\u2019 office for support with abandoned children, child-headed households, and disability issues. Some cases were linked with the Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) and relevant stakeholders for the provision of wheelchairs and counselling services. Thus CHAMPS facilitates linked to essential services that individuals and families would not have been able to navigate on their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"case-study-download\"> \n\n\t<p>Click below to read the full Case Study<\/p>\n\n<a target=\"_blank\" class=\"case-study-dl-link\" href=\"https:\/\/champshealth.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Case-study_CHAMPS_CHAMPIONS_Addressing-health-and-nonhealth-issues_SA_VFinal-29July2024-1-2.pdf\">\n    <i class=\"fa fa-download\"> <\/i> Download Case Study\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CHAMPS findings show high levels of poverty, and socio-economic and systematic challenges, especially in urban townships where CHAMPS operates.
