INTRODUCTION TO HORIZON FARM TRUST /
REQUEST FOR DONOR SUPPORT FOR PROJECTS ON HORIZON FARM
Horizon Farm Trust is an independent non-profit organization situated on a small farm in
Shongweni, KZN. It is currently home to 32 intellectually impaired adults and also benefits
children with disabilities from the local community. The Trust, established in 2005, is a registered
Non-Profit and Public Benefit Organization with section 18(a) tax exemption for South African
donors.
Horizon is currently funded through donations and grants from family, relatives and friends of the
residents as well as periodic solicited donations from organisations with benevolent policies for
welfare, social and health support.
Our mission is to improve the quality of life of intellectually impaired adults, and children with
disabilities, through the:
provision of long-term accommodation and meaningful occupation for adult residents; and
the development of therapeutic outdoor activities and animal therapy for children and
adults with disabilities.
We are proud of our devoted staff, the care-givers who provide our special intervention services
and the animal assisted therapy programmes, all of whom work with love and care to address the
needs of people with disabilities.
We invite you to
visit our website: www.horizonfarmtrust.org.za,
walk with us on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlywHCJJ84o, and
view the last page of this letter to see an example of our activities on the farm.
Some of our successful and necessary projects have been:
Building high, medium and low-care residents’ facilities
Completing a wheelchair-friendly residence
Introducing a horse therapy programme, aimed at helping our residents as well as
disabled children and adults from the surrounding area
Building two fully equipped classrooms currently being used for skills activities
Developing a vegetable garden with the aim of becoming self-sufficient in this area
