Donor to Carel du Toit Centre

The Carel du Toit Centre for Hearing Impaired Children was founded in 1973 by Prof Carel du Toit, an ear, nose and throat surgeon and head of the ENT Department at Tygerberg Hospital. The centre specialises in early intervention programmes for hearing impaired children. For more information see www.careldutoit.co.za

The facility has grown over the years. From 1980 the Western Cape Education Department became involved and started providing teaching posts as well as an annual subsidy to the Centre. Financial means are, however, limited and thus additional funds to maintain and grow this wonderful facility are essential to its sustainability.

After a number of years of being a corporate donor, we are proud to announce another year of financial assistance to this amazing centre, where miracles are performed in young children’s lives, providing them with a second chance in life. 

Says David Geldenhuys (MEO, Arch Retail Systems), “Every year I go on a guided tour of the centre and every year I’m amazed at the abundance of love and caring for these special children. The patience and tenacity of the teaching personnel are up there with the best.”  On a recent visit, the donation was handed over by David to Adri Combrinck (Principal) and Diane Bell (Director & Trustee).
