πŸ’™ Father's Day: Honouring Fathers Living with Dementia and Those Who Care for Them πŸ’™

Today, enABLE FOUNDATION South Africa celebrates fathers, grandfathers, and father figures whose love, wisdom, and sacrifices have shaped families and communities for generations.

For some families, Father's Day may bring mixed emotions. Dementia can change memories, conversations, and daily routines, but it does not diminish a father's identity, worth, or the lasting impact he has made on the lives of those he loves.

Today, we honour:

πŸ’™ fathers living with Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, and other conditions associated with dementia;

πŸ’™ fathers who continue to show courage, resilience, and love despite the challenges they face;

πŸ’™ sons, daughters, spouses, and family members who provide care, companionship, and unwavering support to their fathers every day.

At enABLE FOUNDATION South Africa, we believe that every father deserves to be treated with dignity, compassion, and understanding, regardless of age, illness, or changing abilities.

This Father's Day, let us treasure the moments we share, celebrate the stories that remain, and stand alongside families affected by dementia with empathy and hope.

"A father's love may be remembered in many ways, but its influence endures for a lifetime."

Happy Father's Day to all fathers and father figures.

πŸ’š Awareness. Support. Dignity. Together.

Strengthening Partnerships Through Capacity Building

At enABLE FOUNDATION South Africa, we firmly believe that building knowledge, skills, and collaborative relationships is essential in improving support for people living with dementia, their families, and caregivers.

Today, we had the privilege of facilitating a capacity-building session at the Department of Social Development in New Brighton, Gqeberha, attended by dedicated social workers from across the Nelson Mandela Metropole.

The session was highly engaging, with meaningful discussions, shared experiences, and a collective commitment to enhancing understanding and responses to dementia within our communities.

The training was facilitated by Suraya Joel and Beulah Shadrache, who shared their knowledge and experience in dementia care, awareness, and support. We are encouraged by the enthusiasm and willingness of participants to strengthen their practice and contribute towards creating more dementia-inclusive communities.

This session marks the beginning of a valuable collaboration, and we look forward to building upon this partnership through future training opportunities, continued capacity building, and strengthened multi-agency working.

Together, by learning from one another and working across sectors, we can improve outcomes for people living with dementia and ensure that individuals and families affected by dementia receive the understanding, dignity, and support they deserve.

Thank you to the Department of Social Development and all the social workers who participated and contributed to making today's session such a success.

Investing in Our Team, Strengthening Our Mission

At enABLE FOUNDATION South Africa, we recognise that a strong, united, and well-equipped team is fundamental to achieving our mission and serving our communities effectively.

On Saturday, 13th June, members of our team participated in a Team and Capacity Building Event held at the Dr Andrew Cato George Skills Development Centre. The event provided an invaluable opportunity for learning, collaboration, reflection, and strengthening the relationships that enable us to work together with purpose and passion.

Capacity building is more than developing skillsβ€”it is about empowering individuals, fostering teamwork, and creating a shared vision. As an organisation committed to supporting people living with dementia, their families, and caregivers, we understand that the strength of our impact depends on the strength of our team.

The day served as a reminder that when people come together with a common purpose, they can achieve extraordinary things. We left inspired, motivated, and even more committed to our mission of raising awareness, reducing stigma, supporting caregivers, and promoting dignity for those affected by dementia.

We would also like to extend our sincere gratitude to the staff at the Dr Andrew Cato George Skills Development Centre for their warm hospitality and support throughout the event. A special thank you goes to Ruth, who has been an exceptional point of contact and whose assistance helped make the day a success.

As we continue to grow, learn, and serve, we remain committed to investing in our people because strong teams build strong communities.

World Elder Abuse Awareness Day

enABLE Foundation South Africa extends its sincere appreciation to the management and congregation of Pearson Street Congregational Church for the opportunity to share an important message in recognition of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day.

Representing enABLE Foundation South Africa, Mrs Beulah Bridgette Shadrache delivered a presentation on World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, highlighting the importance of protecting the rights, dignity, wellbeing and safety of older persons within our communities.

The church's message for the day was: "Go and be a witness and testify about the goodness of God." This powerful message complemented the day's discussions and encouraged members to become advocates for compassion, dignity and support for older persons.

We are grateful for the warm welcome, engagement and support shown by the church leadership and congregation. Together, we can continue building communities that value, respect and protect older persons, ensuring they live with dignity, compassion and inclusion.

Thank you for partnering with us in advancing awareness and support for older persons and those affected by conditions associated with dementia.

🌟 Meet Beulah Shadrache 🌟
Founder & CEO β€” enABLE FOUNDATION South Africa & Zambia

As the Founder and CEO of both enABLE FOUNDATION South Africa and enABLE FOUNDATION Zambia, Beulah Shadrache continues to lead with vision, compassion, and a deep commitment to improving the lives of people living with dementia and those involved in their care and support.

With over 20 years of global experience in the Health and Social Care (HSC) sector, Beulah has dedicated her work to helping develop systems, practices, and approaches that support individuals living with dementia while also empowering families, caregivers, and communities.

Her mission goes beyond care alone. She is passionate about reducing the stigma and stereotypes associated with dementia β€” challenges that often lead to discrimination, isolation, and marginalisation for people living with dementia and their loved ones.

Through her expertise in care practice, research, education, and policy development, Beulah brings international best practice and strategic leadership to both organisations.

Having begun her professional journey in education before transitioning into the Health and Social Care sector, she has continued to contribute to tertiary education as an HSC lecturer while also delivering training to Health and Social Care professionals.

Beulah is also a dedicated advocate for neurodivergent individuals and serves as an approved NHS trainer in the United Kingdom, where she delivers training across hospitals, local authorities, and social care organisations alongside neurodivergent experts with lived experience.

Under her leadership, enABLE FOUNDATION continues to champion awareness, dignity, advocacy, education, and compassionate support for individuals and families affected by dementia across Africa.

Together, we continue building informed, inclusive, and supportive communities.
