Donate Nappy Rands for children with disabilities

By donating Nappy Rands you help us in reaching our goal of providing nappies to children (and adults) with disabilities. The National Council of and for Persons with Disabilities (NCPD) believes that every child and adult with a disability is a valuable part of our society and deserves to live with all their rights upheld.

The Nappy Run campaign aims to raise awareness about children with disabilities and to encourage the donation of children’s nappies and adult incontinence pants from 03 October to 03 December throughout South Africa.

“Children (and adults) with disabilities often have a disproportionately high need for nappies though childhood and beyond; requiring the use of nappies into their teen and adult years”, says Therina Wentzel, National Director at the NCPD. “Disposable nappies are expensive and often unaffordable to the majority of families of children with disabilities. Without a nappy, children are often denied dignity, comfort, freedom of movement, and there is health compromised.” 

The NCPD makes a humble, but urgent call to all in South African to support its nappy collection drive by donating nappies, larger than standard baby sizes, or by making a monetary (Nappy Rands) donation towards the purchasing of nappies.
