Children with Severe Disabilities Campaign

Bot River is a dungeon town, in a rural village frequented by unemployment, poverty, seasonal employment opportunities, moral decay, substance abuse and high occurrence of crime, limited basic education facilities, limited extramural facilities and a very poor transport infrastructure.

The NPO have identified several children, youth, and adults with disabilities, living in poverty-stricken circumstances.

Disabled children, youth and adults are entitled to basic care and support services in a safe and stimulating environment, including the improvement of life through concrete action.

Currently, the NPO operates from a garage area which is not ideal. Seven (7) x children and youth between ages 1 and 18 are receiving day care and support services at the NPO. The two volunteer workers are part of the EPWP and received stipends which will end March 2024. 

The establishment of the CrowdFund with BackaBuddy is to assist in carrying  the operational costs of the NPO and to acquire a facility which will serve as a permanent safe space enabling the rendering of basic care and support services to persons living with disabilities on a much more broader and frequent basis.  

The broad goal of the NPO is to:

• Remove some barriers experience by persons living with disabilities.
• Improve the quality of life through concrete action and the facilitation of developmental programs amongst children, youth and adults living with disabilities in Bot River.
• Empower vulnerable members of the community of Bot River.
• Alleviating poverty amongst the vulnerable.
• Improve the social and holistic well-being of children with disabilities from the community of Bot River.
• Raise awareness amongst community members about persons living with disabilities.
