About
•FOSA was launched in 1941, working within communities, visiting the sick, encouraging and aiding families in whatever way possible, in order to assist TB patients to complete their treatment. This included food parcels to needy families, residential help, help with scholars,
and much more.
FOSA has always been involved in community work, helping the TB patients and their families survive the long period of TB treatment. It takes a minimum of 6 months to cure a TB patient
and much longer to cure MDR and XDR. Without assistance and support many families would be devastated, especially if the one with TB was the sole income generator.
•FOSA also runs a DIABETES Awareness program with 3 teams in the Durban area.
One in the central and West Durban area which is run by Sister Sindy.
One in the South of Durban run by Brother Mike.
One in the North of Durban which is run by Sister Feroza.
The Executive Committee, who continue to dedicate themselves in this way, are under the amazing leadership of Brother Ajen Rooplall, who is the current Chairman of FOSA, and who, together with Brother Gonny Pillay, the Vice Chairman, and the whole Committee, are dedicated to the work which has been ongoing for more than 80 years now.
They are to be commended for the extent of their care and relief of those less fortunate than themselves.
The Admin Officer is Brother Matthew Subben, who does a superb job of keeping tabs on all the work FOSA is doing, and also assisting with the provisions required and many other tasks that are given him.
