Minister Fernandez and DSD Staff Support Care Home for Persons with Disabilities

18 July 2022

On Mandela Day, 18 July 2022, the Western Cape Minister of Social Development, Sharna Fernandez in collaboration with staff from the Provincial Department of Social Development (DSD) generously handed over blankets, toiletries and several other donations to Die Elandhuis Residential Facility in Stompneusbaai, near St Helena Bay.

Die Elandhuis is a residential facility that renders life-long care for persons with profound intellectual and physical disabilities.

As we continue to commemorate Mandela Month, the DSD is calling on residents of the Western Cape to give responsibly, and donate money and volunteer time to organisations across the province.

The public can contact the DSD hotline on 0800 220 250 to find out which registered Non-Profit Organisations (NPOs) are closest to them.
