Wat โ€™n ongelooflike mylpaal vir โ€™n organisasie wat al vir dekades met soveel integriteit, toewyding en hart bedien. ๐Ÿ’›

Ons is opreg dankbaar om hierdie pad saam met te stap -โ€™n span wat nie net kos voorsien nie, maar waardigheid, omgee en kwaliteit lewer aan elke persoon wat hulle bedien.

๐Ÿฅ‚ Op die eerste 50 jaarโ€ฆ en op die volgende 50!
Mag ons vennootskap net sterker word en mag ons saam nog baie meer lewens raak en stories van hoop skryf.

Dankie, Feedem, dat ons vandag deel kon wees van hierdie spesiale viering. โœจ

Woolworths has launched a brand-new loyalty programme โ€“ MyDifference โ€“ combining the best of MySchool MyVillage MyPlanet and WRewards into one bigger and better โ€œget and giveโ€ platform.

This means you can now support Innovation for the Blind simply by shopping at Woolworths โ€“ at no extra cost to you!

Hereโ€™s how you can keep (or start!) supporting us:

2๏ธโƒฃ Join the new MyDifference programme (itโ€™s free!)
3๏ธโƒฃ Go to โ€œMy Causesโ€ and select Innovation for the Blind as your cause

Your everyday shopping can help us continue empowering adults with visual impairments through training, development, and care -helping them live independent, dignified lives.

Please note: The old MySchool and WRewards cards will be phased out and no longer work after 31 March 2026 - so make the switch today and continue making a difference!

En sรณ het ons op 28 Oktober ons eerste inligtingsessie afgeskop oor Strategiese Beplanning, Fondswerwing en Volhoubaarheid vir die Badisa Gestremdesorgdienste by Innovation for the Blind! ๐ŸŒŸ
โ€™n Groot dank aan die DG Murray Trust vir die befondsing wat hierdie waardevolle opleidingsessies moontlik maak.๐Ÿซถ Ons waardeer ook die insette en kundigheid van Stephnรฉ Botha (Uitvoerende Hoof: IFTB) en Attie Butler (Uitvoerende Hoof: Ignite Advisory Services) wat hul tyd en kennis met ons deel.

Verteenwoordigers van Badisa, Alta du Toit Centre, Badisa Riviersonderend Versorgingsentrum, Eljada Aftercare en Steinkopf Huis Immanuel het aan hierdie eerste sessie deelgeneem โ€“ sommige in persoon en ander aanlyn. ๐Ÿ’ป

On 28 October, we proudly hosted our very first information session on Strategic Planning, Fundraising and Sustainability for the Badisa Disability Care Services network - right here at Innovation for the Blind! ๐ŸŒŸ

A heartfelt thank you to the DG Murray Trust for making these invaluable training sessions possible through their generous funding.๐Ÿซถ Your support helps us strengthen and empower organisations making a difference in the lives of persons with disabilities.

We are also deeply grateful to Stephnรฉ Botha (Chief Executive: Innovation for the Blind) and Attie Butler (Chief Executive: Ignite Advisory Services) for sharing their experience, expertise and time. Your insights truly set the tone for meaningful growth and collaboration.

We were honoured to have representatives from Badisa, Alta du Toit Centre, Badisa Riviersonderend Versorgingsentrum, Eljada Aftercare and Steinkopf Huis Immanuel join us โ€” both in person and online. ๐Ÿ’ป
This is just the beginning, and weโ€™re excited for the journey ahead as we build stronger, sustainable support systems together!

Our Story

Innovation for the Blind (previously Institute for the Blind), situated in the care capital town of South Africa, Worcester, is a non-profit organisation that has been catering to the all-inclusive, specialised needs of visually impaired adults since 1881. Our mission is to empower persons who are blind, partially sighted or deafblind, including visually impaired persons with additional disabilities towards improved quality of life and reaching maximal levels of independence.

EMPOWERING THROUGH INNOVATION

Caring for and offering vital services to our target audience is costly but adding Small Business Ventures to our portfolio enables us to be more resilient. Carrying out our vision and all its supporting activities is a significant challenge and doing so in a sustainable way requires us to partner with those who are brave enough to make a difference.

We are extremely proud to have several new projects that offer skills training, therapy and sheltered employment opportunities to 178 visually impaired and multi disabled persons that cannot be accommodated in the open labour market.
