Bounce for Bizweni

Bizweni Centre for Children with Disabilities is a Special Needs Day-Care Centre located in Somerset West. Bizweni Centre currently has 66 wonderful children from the ages of 2 years to 18 years old with severe to profound disabilities. The children are collected each day by the three Bizweni buses and brought to the Centre to receive education, stimulation, care and the necessary therapeutic interventions. The majority of the children come from previously disadvantaged communities where access to these necessary services is extremely limited.

The Bizweni Centre has an incredible team including Occupational Therapists, a Speech Therapist, teacher, ECD practitioners and carers. From the time children arrive on the bus until they go home, they are exposed to an environment rich in development. The children learn through music, art, table activities and through play. The Bizweni Centre’s mission is “Equipping children with disabilities to reach their full potential.”

‘Bounce for Bizweni’ is their first fundraiser of the year. This will be a rebounding marathon. Four instructors are donating their expertise for this exciting event. Bounti instructor Steph from the Lisa Raleigh studio in Bryanston, Johannesburg, as well as 2 Bounti Academy members, Leanne from BeGraceful Studio Somerset West and Chantelle from Purpose Rebound Fit in Stellenbosch.

The education, therapy and care the Centre provides costs +/- R6,000 a month per child. Parents are asked to pay R600 a month. Funds raised at this event will go towards making up this gap and help to provide things like dental hygiene and audiology appointments, and exciting outings. This money is a lifeline for the Centre.
