Our Projects:

• Wilge Special Day Care Centre: for children with special needs between the ages of 18 months and 18 years old.

• Adult Day Care Centre for profoundly disabled adults over the age of 18 years, who are not capable of participating in work centre activities.

• Residential care providing through 6 group homes, creating a haven from violence, abuse and neglect for adults with disabilities.

• Elder Care: a specialised unit that provides more intensive supervision and medical care for residents who are unable to assist themselves and have no family to care for them.

• Work Centre, undertaking contract work which involves unskilled labour and repetitive tasks such as assembly, collating, gluing, specialised packing, sorting and recycling for local companies and industry.

• Job Placement programme, focussing on the development of the individual to reach his or her full potential and to be integrated into the open labour market.

• Vegetable Growing Tunnel: The purpose of this project is to firstly grow vegetables that can be used in our central kitchen to provide meals for our residents on a daily basis. The ultimate goal that is being worked toward with this project is that it will eventually form part of our income generation project with part of the harvest being available for sale at local shops and growers markets.
