Some famous people with disabilities

 
Welcome to the home of the Carel Botha Foundation for People Living with Disabilities

 
 
This foundation was created out of pure frustration and the lack of assistance, people living with disabilities get, to gain an equal footing in a world aimed at financial gain.

We are not a charity for disabled people but rather an information portal for people living with disabilities. Employers seeking quality disabled candidates can submit available vacancies here

 
 
 

  By establishing THE FOUNDATION as referred to in our constitution, do we believe that we can make a difference by providing persons living with disabilities with an opportunity to acquire skills that can be used in any business or administrative environment.

We believe that we can do that by establishing facilities where persons living with disabilities can be trained basic skills such as Life Skills, Office Skills, Small Business Administration, Marketing and Computer Literacy to name a few, and then through an aggressive programme get some, if not all of these people employed where the minimum of movement is required and they can function comfortably, such as a Call Centre for example.

We believe we can create an environment where placements of trained candidates can occur with companies through a very aggressive Employment Equity programme.

 

 

Our Mission:

The main aim of the foundation is to empower and assist people living with disabilities, between the ages of 18 and 40 by sharing information and providing training in:

  • Basic Office Skills
  • Business Skills
  • Marketing Skills
  • Educational Leadership & Management Skills
  • Communications & Analytical Skills
  • Self Esteem
  • Basic Life Skills

This will enable people to become more self-sufficient, independent entrepreneurs whom can compete in an open and informal labour society.

Our programmes will also give the person living with a disability an opportunity to gain valuable business knowledge and become an efficient and successful employee of any company, corporation or organization should he or she feel the need to work for an employer.

 
  Our Vision:

We want to create entrepreneurs and leaders. We want to make a difference to the way society views people living with disabilities. We want society to see the Ability and not the Disability.

We don't claim to have the holy grail. What we can offer is sound advice and business mentorship to capable people living with disabilities.

 
 

Our Values:

  • Equity
  • Respect
  • Trust
  • Fairness
  • Honesty
  • Humility
  • Integrity
