POWER AND COMMUNITY

There are hundreds and hundreds of projects/charities out there that people simply don't get to hear about. These are the people/projects that need your donations and support. These projects dont have resources to develop websites or raise funds and as a result people simply dont get to hear about them. Well maybe this site can help a little...

We are developing a directory of South African projects and charities. The goal is to give every idea a free platform and a gateway to the world via our web portal. Please send me your contact details, tell me a little about what it is you do & what you would like to do, include one or two pictures and leave the rest up to me.

Send the details to charity@mawandi.co.za...

QUASAR TRUST

A quadriplegic is a person who, through disease or accident, has lost total or partial use of his limbs. The major cause if this disability is accident. The groups of people typically affected are the young and active.
When someone has lost the use of his limbs, it does not mean that he has lost his spirit of independence. In 1981 a group of quadriplegics pooled there resources and purchased a house in Parow to accommodate themselves styled " Quassar House."
For these quadriplegics it, it was a dream come true seeing that it was the first time in many years that they could live independently and be in a position to make their own decisions and live and function in the community.

The manner in which the new quadriplegic residents set themselves up as mature and independent functional members of the local community, later became a demonstration model on how independent disabled people can live and function in the community.
