We are a registered Non-Profit (NPO) and Public Benefit Organization (PBO), partially funded by the Western Cape Department of Social Development. Our financial accountability, governance structure, and affiliation with the Leonard Cheshire Disability Global Alliance speak to our credibility.
Langa Cheshire Home provides a variety of services for adults and children with severe permanent disabilities. We provide residential accommodation and support services for persons who are socially active and who do not require permanent frail care. We provide transportation with ramps or hoists designed to provide secure transport for wheelchair users.
As a proud member of both Cheshire Homes South Africa and the Leonard Cheshire Disability Global Alliance, we draw on over 28 years of experience and global insight. Our home is located in Langa, a historically disadvantaged community in Cape Town, and has made a lasting impact in the Western and Eastern Cape.
We focus not only on providing residential care but also on empowering residents to transition toward independent, self-directed living. The demand for our services is high, and our long waiting list speaks to the essential role we play in our community.
By supporting Langa Cheshire Home, you are backing a registered NPO and PBO with a proven track record of integrity, compassion, and impact.
For over 28 years, Langa Cheshire Home has been a lifeline for people with severe, permanent disabilities, especially those with limited financial means and no family support. We’ve earned a strong reputation for compassionate, person-centered care.
Located in the heart of Langa, a historically disadvantaged community, we not only provide essential care but also contribute to uplifting the broader community through disability awareness and empowerment initiatives.
While we offer safe, accessible residential accommodation for 26 wheelchair users, our work goes far beyond shelter. We focus on skills development, self-determination, and helping residents move toward independent living.
