The trust was lovingly established in 2009 to meet a critical need for early intervention, care, education and support for visually impaired children and their care givers in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal.
Our primary goal is to provide highly specialized and adapted intervention and foundational strategies to ensure the optimal and naturally healthy physical, cognitive and emotional development of visually impaired young children - all within a supportive and nurturing environment.
The Trust serves as a source of comfort, support and vital information for families and caregivers while offering the best possible intervention and daily stimulation, adapted and specific to the needs of visually impaired children.
Our work is geared towards educating others and exciting the natural curiosity of visually impaired children. Encouraging the children to explore the world they live in confidently and competently so that they never grow to internalize their disability and fall behind the expected standard of their peers.
Bright Eyes Centre provides early childhood development programs for visually impaired children as well as training for parents and caregivers of the visually impaired. We serve families who often cannot afford additional care. Our philosophy is to promote natural interest and curiosity-based learning through exposure to new and vital experiences, adaptation of materials and curriculum in a way that appeals and speaks to our children as well as providing early access to crucial intervention therapies when needed
