Wheelchair donations lighten disabled school's burdens

Sešego Cares, the charitable arm of Absa, together with the Northcliff Rotary Club, has donated 20 personalised wheelchairs to the Nkanyezi Stimulation Centre in Orlando Gardens, Soweto. A registered NGO, it currently cares for 30 children - the numbers fluctuate due to lack of reliable transport to ferry the children to and from the centre on a regular basis. Founder of the centre, Thembekile Tshabalala, started the centre after the death of her son, Nkanyezi, who had cerebral palsy. Following his death, Tshabalala established the centre with the resolve to provide care, education, treatment, stimulation and safety for 30 disabled children in her community.
