Orion Projects

• Group Homes Programme
  This programme provides residential care and a haven from violence and abuse for 60 disabled adults from all parts of the Western & Southern Cape. Opened in April 1995, the complex currently consists of 6 homes, each of which accommodates 10 disabled adults and 2 house parents.
   
• Activity Centre
  Those profoundly disabled adults who are not capable of participating in these activities are cared for at the Orion Activity Centre during the day. This centre identifies more basic, but still productive activities for these individuals to undertake that also form part of the contract workshop, and which also generate a small additional income.
   
• Semi-Frail Care Home
  One of our homes serves as a semi-frail care home for the aged, sick and frail disabled residents who do not have any family left to take care of them.
   
• Wilge Special Day Care Centre
  The Wilge Special Care accommodates 30 children with disabilities, from as young as 12 months of age but has capacity for up to 60 children.
   
• Job creation, income generation and sustainable living-projects
  Orion's 'Job creation, income generation and sustainable living'-project. Providing the disabled person with a sense of purpose and productivity is integral to any therapeutic endeavour.
