QUASAR - HOUSE DIARY
FEATURED STORIES FROM THE QUASAR FORUM
ABOUT US
QUASAR TRUST
A quadriplegic is a person who, through disease or accident, has lost total or partial use of his limbs. The major cause if this disability is accident. The groups of people typically affected are the young and active.
When someone has lost the use of his limbs, it does not mean that he has lost his spirit of independence. In 1981 a group of quadriplegics pooled there resources and purchased a house in Parow, SOUTH AFRICA to accommodate themselves styled “Quassar House.”
For these quadriplegics, it was a dream come true seeing that it was the first time in many years that they could live independently and be in a position to make their own decisions and live and function in the community.
The manner in which the new quadriplegic residents set themselves up as mature and independent functional members of the local community, later became a demonstration model on how independent disabled people can live and function in the community.
What are our aims? (1)To protect and promote the interests of quadriplegic. (2) To establish homes for quadriplegics where the environment and living conditions shall be close to those of the normal life of a person. (3) To support and advise quadriplegics and their families during the period between their rehabilitations at the hospital and their return to the community. (4)To promote a better understanding of the needs and problems of quadriplegic
