This building dates back to 1945. While the Cheshire Home is home to people who live with physical disabilities, it was originally something else. Winnie Mkhize, manager of the home, said that it initially started out as a training college for Indian police officers.
Mkhize is asking for help to get these two doors replaced. “Ideally we would like to install new aluminium doors, as they are long lasting and do not rust as easily as the metal ones,” she said.
The home is reaching out to local businesses, donors and anyone else who might be able to help.
Supporting the home:
To assist in improving the home’s ageing infrastructure or for more information, contact Winnie Mkhize on 031 468 1667 or 079 341 6435.
