Korekile Home was founded by Ms. Masechaba Modimoeng and Ms. Mapule Mache, both social workers previously employed by West Rand Association for the Physically Disabled. Together they identified a real need for a place of specialised care and safety, mainly for children with cerebral palsy, who at the time due to lack of facilities in the West Rand could not easily be placed in homes.

The project was launched on the 16th of November 1994 and began operation on the 1st of March 1995. The founding Bekkersdal neighbours began the project operating from their homes with just 15 children.

Within two years this number had grown to 60 children and S.A.B were contacted to establish a centre able to accommodate the growing numbers. A site in Westonaria Municipality was identified and together with S.A.B and Public Works, R6 million rand was secured in 2002 for the establishment of Korekile Home for Cerebral Palsy Children.

The home currently cares for and nurtures 150 children between the ages of 3 and 16 years and beyond, providing them with the holistic care, therapy, and loving environment they deserve.

Mission

Korekile Home provides holistic care, therapy, and a safe, loving environment for children with cerebral palsy. We strive to nurture their potential, celebrate their individuality, and create a community built on acceptance, dignity, and love.

Vision

A world where every child with cerebral palsy feels accepted, valued, and supported to thrive.
