SIVE NATHI
Today we spoke to Sharon du Plooy from Sive Nathi.
Sive Nathi's mission statement is to establish, maintain and conduct a homely environment for children with profound and severe intellectual and or physical disabilities irrespective of race, colour or creed. Only children between the age of one year and eighteen years old will be accommodated after the required reports are submitted. Each child has to be in need of care.
Sive Nathi is a home for severely and profoundly physically and or mentally disabled children. The home was originally started by a domestic worker from Khayelitsha in 1997. Since then she has given a home to disabled children whose parents have died, no longer want their sick children or simply cannot cope with their disabilities. The home grew from a couple of children to 42 in just a few years. There are now sixty two children living at Sive Nathi.
