Our kids and caregivers!

Sinakho has an amazing team of care givers and wonderful children as well. Above are Zozi (cerebral palsy), his mother Pamela and Asemhle (club foot).

Who's currently working with us?

Sinakho is fortunate enough to have Hambisela working with our cerebral palsy children. Two therapists have already started training some of the mothers at the Day Care Centre and we look forward to the tips and techniques they have to share with us.

“The mission of Hambisela is to improve the level and intensity of therapeutically-correct ongoing care received by individuals affected by cerebral palsy in the broad community, to enable them to realise their maximum life potential.”

What we do!

This Day Care Centre provides stimulation to children with disabilities at pre-school and primary school level in Grahamstown in the Eastern Cape. All our caregivers are in fact mothers of disabled children and could not be better equipped to handle the children's needs and provide them with the best intellectual and physical stimulation. The Centre officially opened it's doors at the beginning of this year and has since gone from strength to strength and has provided much relief for parents from the surrounding community and the children themselves.
