Home Visits

A substantial number of Local children are unable to travel to the centre because of disability.

 

Volunteers visit over 75 homes on a monthly basis to deliver food hampers that provide supplemental feeding and to check on the welfare of the children.  Specific equipment is supplied where necessary, including wheelchairs and other mobility devices.  Below are some examples of these children:

 
Both siblings have disabilities restricting mobility; they rarely leave their homestead.  The trust supplies food and wheelchairs.

Edwin is disabled and lives with his disabled mother - he cannot walk, but has a talent for playing the drums; the centre visits Edwin to support him with psycho-social skills, social interactions and feeding support

Watch this for something truly spectacular!

Gerald has a congenital disability and cannot walk. He travels 6kms to a nearby school. His 10 yr old brother pushes him to school in the morning but he has to return on his own in the afternoon.

The centre provides feeding support, psycho-social support and will be providing a new wheelchair in the near future.
