About the project

Cape Town Society for the Blind (CTSB) is a non-profit organisation founded in 1929 by a group of women to address the need for training and employment opportunities for blind and visually impaired people within a secure and supportive environment. It has remained true to its mission and vision for over 90 years, becoming a beacon of hope to individuals who need to navigate the complex world without sight. Today, CTSB offers a wide range of training in the arts and crafts as well as computer, braille and career training. A low vision clinic was recently added to the range of services available.

Impact and benefits

A capital expenditure donation from Hannover Re South Africa has significantly deepened economic and energy security benefits for CTSB, making this among our most impactful solar projects yet.

By purchasing solar cells in this project, you'll reduce energy costs for CTSB for 20 years, enabling it to focus funds and resources on its core mission: to develop the abilities and skills of blind and visually impaired people, irrespective of age, race, or creed. The project also includes battery backup that will significantly improve energy security and reliability, minimising outage-related disruptions to CTSB's operations - an important benefit in light of South Africa's current energy crisis.
