About Us
How Can Someone with a Complex Disability Live an Independent Life?
In 2018 Mukwevho Foundation is using each month to put a focus on a range of different themes that are important to who we are as a company and our values. To kick off the year we are putting a focus on independence– what it means for our participants and their families.
The idea that everyone can lead an independent life, despite circumstances, is one of the core beliefs that Mukwevho Foundation was founded on. The space and style of Care we provide means that each participant is fully supported, but still has the choice and freedom to live the life they choose.
As a disability provider, Mukwevho Foundation is primarily here to support our participants. We are not here just to provide a home, or a helping-hand with housework. We are here to support our participants needs so that they can live the best life they can possibly have.
In order to support a participant’s lifestyle, we offer a range of supported independent living options and in-home services. Our lifestyle activities and award-winning THRIVE Program also encourage independence for our participants. Ultimately, it is up to the participant who decides what THEY want to do with their life, and it’s up to us to work out how to make that possible.
Independence means having the space to choose your own lifestyle, and lead the life that you want to- and that’s what Mukwevho Foundation offers to all of its participants. As we say, ‘Own Your Future’!
One of our participants who exemplifies the theme of independence and is leading an active and exciting life, is our blogger and Briarholm resident, Alice Waterman.
Alice’s blog this month is about how to live an independent life, when you have a complex disability.

Vission
The aim of Mukwevho Foundation is to reach and help the poor of the poorest around our communities in South Africa.
The vision is to have an accessible and solid functional platform for Elderly people, Persons with Disability, Woman and Children having extraordinary talents and remarkable skills. In so doing, we offer genius solutions and incredible value add to our beneficiaries.
This purpose was a culmination of observation and experiences by the founder in noticing that these highly talented individuals mostly exhibit some form of mental or intellectual delay in their normal functioning, as are as such disregarded to have any value to offer to the mainstream economy. In this way they are marginalised to live on the fringes of the main economy as perpetual dependants and remain charity cases.
We provide services to meet the needs of Elderly people, Persons with Disability, Woman and Children. We also provide care and support to enable living in the community and support at home.
Elderly people, Persons with Disability, Woman and Children are at the heart of all that we do. While meeting care and support needs, we will endeavour at all times to enhance their independence and promote the rights of disabled people as equal members of society.
