LOFOB provides accommodation for indigent visually impaired people over the age of 18 years who do not have any family or support systems in their communities. Application for frail elderly people will only be considered in exceptional circumstances since we do not have nursing staff on the premises.
Clients who cannot travel into LOFOB daily for their training are able to apply for temporary accommodation for the duration of the three-month Adult Independence Services Program.
Holiday Home
LOFOB manages a Holiday Home based in Strandfontein. The accommodation is available to blind and sighted individuals or groups. The facility has 10 bedrooms 2 bathrooms, a shower room, a braai area and a swimming pool. The venue is five minutes away from Baden Powel Drive and the Strandfontein Pavilion.
PROPOSED REDEVELOPMENT OF RECREATIONAL FACILITIES
The Strandfontein Holiday Home has been earmarked for redevelopment to upgrade the current facility. The proposed redevelopment will include an indoor basketball/ goal ball court, gym, outdoor 5 a side football field and a standardised 8 lane swimming pool and cricket practice net. The facility will also have conference facilities and accommodation geared towards serving the continent of Africa through hosting sport and recreation workshops to promote the capacity building of blind and visually impaired athletes and administrators in Africa.
The redevelopment project is estimated to cost approximately R7.5 million and is an ideal opportunity for active involvement in the world of blind sport and recreation for corporate social investment projects of your business.
