Lukhanyo Autism day & after care is established in Northern Cape Kimberley. Registered as an nonprofit organization (NPO) the organization is Managed by parents of children living with Autism. The founders of this organization is two Women and two Men
The organization will start to operating February 2019, as we experience challenges with our children to be accommodate at preschoolers & schools ,most  of our children are home based.

Specialized services in the Autism sector are scarce, with limited facilities and options available in South Africa, particularly for children’s with Autism. Lukhanyo Autism day care center is dedicated to research, and develops opportunities with exclusive group of individuals, based on international models.
History

Statistics prove that Autism is almost a pandemic now, with 1 in every 67 children born with Autism. As Autism is a lifelong disability, the child with Autism becomes the adult with Autism. In spite of these troubling figures, minimal services are availab.

Expansion and future developments of Lukhanyo Autism day care center are thus not simply options, but rather dire needs for children with Autism, and must be prioritized at all cost
