Opened on 20 July 2015, the Butterfly Centre in Stanford caters to children who are not coping in the mainstream school environment. This school and community centre has already changed the lives of countless families and kids. The children and their families benefit from the latest research and techniques to ensure that each child reaches their own full potential and lives their very best life. We also host workshops and talks with experts all fields of special needs. Parents who have been told their children will never read are hearing them read. Non-verbal children have started speaking. Miracles are happening, and continue to happen. 

We need funding to continue to grow and help the ever increasing community of these special children and their families. We aim to educate and raise awareness which can help build a fully inclusive society, where children are celebrated for their uniqueness and taught to believe they can do anything they set their minds to. 

We currently rent premises, but long term the vision is to build a permanent home for the centre through our registered NPO, the Butterfly Foundation. Funding also continues to ensure that we bring the latest teaching tools and educational materials to our area of the Overberg, South Africa. Please consider supporting us in any way you can. 

Thank you to those who are running with us and helping us to make a difference.
