Über uns
Canaan Care Centres is a non-profit organisation designed to support children from birth to 16 years old with severe physical disabilities and profound Learning Disabilities. Formally the Foden Centre, Canaan was opened in 2006 with a leap of faith, R100 in the bank and a committee of parents who wanted a place of safety and specialized care for their children. Our vision of person-centred support is to start with the child and build a programme around their needs.
Mission
Canaan Care Centres will provide an appropriate and therapeutic environment, in which children with disabilities can develop the skills necessary to reach their full potential. We will offer a high standard of care and a personalised approach to support work, which encourages growth and promotes independence.
