At the Paul and Humile Mashatile Foundation, we are dedicated to ensuring that children with neurodivergent conditions, particularly those on the autism spectrum, receive the support, respect, and empowerment they deserve. Our focus is on creating inclusive environments where these children thrive and are not excluded due to socio-economic circumstances or lack of awareness.
Our Vision
A world where neurodiversity is celebrated and where autistic children are fully supported and included in all aspects of society.
Our Mission
To foster an inclusive society that recognises and supports the inherent value and unique gifts that autistic individuals bring.
Our Objectives
We aim to:
Raise Awareness by educating parents and schools on neurodiverse conditions, providing screening tools, and learning materials.
Provide Support to parents whose children have been diagnosed with an autistic condition.
Neurodiversity aims to de-stigmatize different kinds of brain functionality, its a framework for celebrating variations in how children think, learn and process information. This positive perspective can benefit children in school and beyond:
It empowers and encourages neurodiverse kids to see their brain differences as strengths to be celebrated, rather than disabilities to be feared. It helps children cultivate self-esteem, viewing their differences not as impediments but simply as expressions of their uniqueness, preparing them to handle their neurodivergence in all developmental aspects of their lives.
To drive awareness about Autism in disadvantaged communites, the Foundation, in collaboration with the Gift of Givers extending a helping hand to the Hangberg community.
We invite you to join us in our mission to make a positive impact on the lives of children. Whether you are a parent, educator, donor, volunteer, or advocate, there are countless ways to get involved and Support our Vision.
