About the Partner Organisation 

The Ann Harding Cheshire Home (AHCH), based in Johannesburg, South Africa, is a residential care facility for adults with permanent physical disability. The home aims to create a society where persons with disabilities have equal opportunities. Their mission is to assist those people regardless of their colour, race or creed, providing the conditions necessary for their physical, mental and spiritual well-being. They are the oversight body of all 16 Cheshire Homes throughout South Africa.

Within South Africa, most of the funding that is available is for specific projects, however there are a limited number of projects that they can do and there is a need for funds to support their general operations. AHCH currently has a full-time fundraiser and would like the support of a volunteer to help expand their network and include ways to raise funds internationally.
