Prudence’s Journey with Funzi: Transforming Lives as a Home Caregiver

Meet Prudence Khose, a dedicated and passionate individual hailing from the heart of the Free State in Kroonstad, South Africa. She's a loving mother of three children and a qualified caregiver, experienced in caring for the elderly, frail and disabled. She is driven by a dream that's as inspiring as it is heartwarming.

Prudence's interests in singing, cooking, and cleaning reflect her nurturing nature, while her hobby of exercising keeps her energised. Cooking, a labour of love, holds a special place in her heart, amplified after completing the Funzi course Food Safety. However, her dreams extend beyond her own passions; she envisions herself as the head of an old age home, a place where she can provide essential support and care to our elders.

Prudence's Path to Empowerment and Community Service

Funzi entered Prudence's life as a beacon of knowledge and opportunity. Despite being a busy mom and home caregiver, she embarked on a journey of self-improvement and empowerment through Funzi's courses. During her studies at Robert Sobukwe Nursing Academy, she was introduced to Funzi’s skills development courses. She gained valuable insights into topics she hadn't taken seriously or even knew about before.

Prudence's newfound knowledge expanded her understanding of important aspects of health for both men and women. As a result, her confidence soared, and she found herself more capable of addressing critical health matters. Funzi's courses on men's health and women's health played a pivotal role in her growth.

Motivated by her deep-seated desire to help elderly individuals who can not care for themselves, Prudence pursued her Funzi courses with passion. She views this as her calling from a higher power, a mission to assist and uplift those in need.

Not only did she gain vital insights into health and well-being, but she also found a newfound sense of belonging within a community that shares her commitment to learning and helping others.

Prudence has already completed her Funzi courses in Men's Health, Women's Health and Food Safety, and she's eager to continue her journey of self-improvement and community service. She's now part of the Funzi community,  equipped to provide assistance and guidance to those facing health-related challenges.

When asked if she would recommend Funzi to others, Prudence's answer was a resounding "Yes!" She's a firm believer in the transformative power of skills development, especially in rural areas where many might be unaware of the learning opportunities Funzi offers.

Future Aspirations: Prudence's Vision for Impact and Success

Looking ahead, Prudence's dreams know no bounds. She envisions a future where she's not only made a difference in the lives of the elderly but has also achieved great success in the business world. Her goals are simple yet powerful - work hard, be passionate about what you do, and above all, cherish the importance of time. Prudence hopes to inspire others to explore Funzi, learn, and make a positive impact in their communities.

Prudence's journey is a testament to the power of accessible learning and skills development. Her story showcases how a deep-seated passion and a commitment to learning can lead to personal growth and the ability to impact the lives of others.  Her dreams are not just her own; they're a source of inspiration for those she aims to serve and support.
