At Vasco Special Needs Centre, we believe that changing lives is not a once-off event — it’s a journey. And like every journey, it needs steady, reliable support.
As a registered Non-Profit Organisation (NPO) and Public Benefit Organisation (PBO), we depend on the generosity of people like you to keep our doors open and our programmes running. While every donation is deeply appreciated, monthly contributions have the greatest impact. They allow us to plan ahead, sustain essential services, and provide consistent care for the young adults who depend on us.
• Stability for our young adults — Your regular support means we can provide uninterrupted care, activities, and skill development. • Security for our staff — Our largest ongoing expense is salaries. Skilled, dedicated staff are the heart of what we do, and monthly donations help ensure they can continue their vital work. • Sustainable growth — Consistent funding allows us to expand programmes, improve facilities, and create more opportunities for our attendees.
Because we are a registered PBO, we are able to issue a PBO Section 18A Tax Certificate for any monetary donation we receive. This means your contribution can be deducted from your taxable income. Certificates are issued annually on 28 February, covering all donations made in the preceding tax year.
Every rand is used with care. None of our directors or management team receive a salary or financial benefit from the Centre — every cent goes directly into running and improving the services we offer. When you give monthly, you are not just donating — you are becoming a partner in our mission to empower special needs young adults, helping them build skills, confidence, and independence.
By choosing to give a set amount each month, you’re making an ongoing commitment to a brighter future for our young adults. Whether it’s R100 or R1 000, your monthly gift will make a lasting difference.
