Help Us Build a Sensory Garden for the Residents of Vita Nova Centre!
https://web.facebook.com/vitanovacentre
Rotary East Rand e-Club has been approached by the Rovers (Adult Scouts) to partner on a special community service project this December!
Date: 14 December 2025
Location: Vita Nova Centre, Springs
On that morning, around 100 Rovers from Scouts South Africa National Rover Moot will come together to help install a sensory garden — a vibrant, interactive outdoor space designed to support the sensory needs of children and adults with severe disabilities.
Vita Nova Centre, established in 1977, is home to 114 residents aged 3 to 83 living with cerebral palsy, mental disabilities, and HIV/AIDS — many without family support. Creating this garden will not only fulfil a vital requirement from the Department of Mental Health and Education, but also give residents a place of joy, calm, and sensory exploration.
We need your help to make it happen!
Donations will go toward garden materials — plants, soil, pathways, sensory elements, and play equipment.
Donate here: contact Nikki at 079 493 7734 for further information about the project and donations.
Every contribution brings us one step closer to giving the Vita Nova residents the gift of a healing, sensory-rich space.
Thank you for helping us bring hope, colour, and life to our community!
