The Stellenbosch Disability Network (SDN) was established in October 2014 and the Helderberg Disability Network (HDN) in July 2018. Both networks are open for any organisation, members of the public and interested parties wishing to share information, raise awareness and ensure the inclusion of disability in local planning and service delivery in greater Stellenbosch. They work to advance the full inclusion of, and opportunities for, people with disabilities in all aspects of development, planning, learning, working and living in the greater Stellenbosch & Helderberg areas.
The SDN and the HDN were created as projects of the NPO, ChangeAbility. ChangeAbility’s purpose is to pioneer programmes that change communities by improving the lives of people with disabilities. ChangeAbility is still responsible for coordinating, chairing and reporting on the activities of each of these networks under their Disability Awareness project (for more information on this and other projects, visit their website at https://changeability.org.za/our-programmes/) Both networks exist to:
15 & 16 October 2015: Talk about Disability
3 December 2016: Walk with Disability
25 November 2017: Walk with Disability
24 November 2018: Walk with Disability
16 October 2019: Education Indaba
23 November 2019: Walk with Disability
