Sinqobile Disabled Centre, a dedicated home for people living with disabilities in the Vosman area, is appealing to the public for assistance to get the institution back on its feet.

The center has been operating since 2009, but recently, it has faced significant setbacks. According to the founder, Themba Simelane, a critical lack of funding has seen the institution’s enrollment drop from 20 students to just six.

“We are kindly appealing for sponsors so that we can return to our original capacity,” Simelane said.

Simelane emphasized that the center desperately needs bakery equipment and sewing machines.

“Our students already have the skills; however, we don’t have the equipment. If we could secure bakery machinery, it would make a massive difference,” Simelane added.

In addition to baking and sewing, the center focuses on teaching knitwork. The organisation is calling on potential sponsors to help and make a tangible impact on the lives of the disabled.

The institution is also inviting guardians of people with disabilities in the surrounding area to consider enrolling their loved ones in the center’s programs.

To get in touch with the institution or to offer support, please contact Themba Simelane at 076 294 2905.
