Donor support for students with disabilities

Donors from the FNB Fund (a part of the FirstRand Foundation) visited the University of Cape Town recently to witness first-hand the changes their more than R11-million donation to the UCT Disability Service is making on the ground.

The donation, made in February this year, has allowed the Disability Service to appoint much-needed South African Sign Language interpreters, note takers and similar human support, as well as provide technical aids, improved transport and bursaries to assist students with both learning and physical disabilities.
