Western Cape Association For Persons With Disabil

WCAPD is a registered non-profit organisation (NPO 003-105) and a public benefit organisation (PBO 18/11/13/406), and is committed to social development of persons with disabilities in the Western Cape. Our 25 APD Branches provide an inclusive service to all persons with disabilities, irrespective of age, gender, nationality or religion. We work with persons with disabilities and their families where they take the lead in achieving their potential, dreams and goals, and ultimately independence. This may include (but is not limited to) sourcing mobility devices, dealing with social issues within the home, arranging for home care, caring and stimulating children with severe disabilities, or lobbying for accessibility in the community.
We are passionate about striving towards an inclusive society in which persons with disabilities are equal and active citizens. This was true of the small group of people who began our organisation in 1937 and it remains true for the many people who join us in our work today.
Our services are free of charge and open to anyone who needs help.
Services are rendered through the following focus areas:
*Social Development *Day Care *Work & Employment *Education *Peer Support *Transport *Awareness *Services to Branches In turn, APD Branches receive guidance from our management team in terms of – *Programme management: Good corporate governance to ensure legal compliance *Supervision *Service Delivery *Human Resource management *Financial guidance
