How It Works

We provide full accommodation in a homely environment, including three meals daily.

At Lake Farm Centre, we aim to create a nurturing and inclusive environment for our intellectually challenged residents. Here’s how we work to provide them with a fulfilling and purposeful life:

FUNDRAISING PROJECTS

We welcome volunteers to join our mission if you’re inspired to make a difference. Become a part of this heart-warming journey of love, care, and growth.

Let’s create a place where everyone belongs and thrives, together!

Lake Farm Agri

Lake Farm Centre might be a non-profit organisation with charitable objectives, but we are not a charity.

Our residents might have constraints, but that doesn’t mean we have to be constrained in striving for independence and financial sustainability.

We are building and securing our future by optimising the potential of our most valuable commodity, productive agricultural land.

The Lake Farm Agri Project started in August 2022 and it’s still under construction. We are producing vegetables and herbs profitably and commercially at scale – and we are growing. We aim to keep growing until we can extract the farm’s full potential.

From seedling to table

As actions speak louder than words, follow our initiatives below and help us grow.

Sponsor a resident

At Lake Farm Centre, we cherish every resident as a valued community member. Unfortunately, the number of residents without financial support from their families is growing annually. Your help can make a world of difference in their lives.

Our residents find purpose and joy in being a part of our warm and accepting environment. Surrounded by friends and caring staff, they lead fulfilling lives, feeling needed and appreciated.

If you want to sponsor a particular resident, please contact our office for more information. Your generosity can be the key to unlocking a brighter future for an intellectually challenged individual. (041 379 1555 or admin@lakefarm.org.za)

Make a lasting impact

We invite you to consider sponsoring a resident with your financial support, allowing them to continue their journey at our Centre. Your sponsorship empowers them to thrive, experience love, and create lasting memories.

Join us in making a lasting difference and ensuring that every resident at Lake Farm Centre has the opportunity to live a life filled with acceptance, love, and purpose.

Together, let’s create a supportive community where everyone thrives, and no one is left behind.
