Click here to find out how you can support the disabled residence project of Phelisanong, providing a family style home for children with special needs.
The Phelisanong organization was founded by disabled people, to serve the disabled.
Over the years the organization has found friends and supporters who have helped build a community center. There remains a need for quality, permanent housing for the children. The Phelisanong centre now looks after seventy children and youth with a range of disabilities and chronic illnesses. Most of the dozen caregivers are also in some way disabled or disadvantaged: through serving and working at Phelisanong these vulnerable citizens gain employment, purpose, and belonging.
The disabled residence is at the heart of everything Phelisanong does. The strength of the community and the commitment of the volunteers and staff has built a solid core. The disabled residence is the centrefrom which all of the other programs the project emanate. Currently the project aims to construct quality, permanent housing for an eventual population of 100 children, in 10 family style homes. Please see our fundraising page to see how you can assist!
