SOCIAL SUPPORT
The Shonaquip Social Enterprise has created a Parent Network which is a digital (over WhatsApp) community where parents and caregivers of children with disabilities support one another by sharing their experiences & practical tips, across 9 South African provinces. We do this by ensuring that parents have access to information either through training sessions or by accessing information through networks of parents.
Parents who want to join our Network can contact Neliseka on 071 371 9103 or go here to find out a little more.
ORGANISE JOINT PROJECTS IN YOUR COMMUNITY
We work with a variety of international and local NGOs, Government departments and Private funders to implement impact-driven projects in remote and underserved communities. Contact us if you have ideas for a project in your community, province or country.
