Max Ordman Deaf Association receives Lotto funding
The services include, among others, housing, meals, nursing and occupational therapy services.
The Max Ordman Deaf Association (MODA) received R80 080 from the National Lotteries Commission (NLC).
MODA provides holistic services to older deaf persons.
The services include housing, meals, nursing and occupational therapy services.
The funding has been allocated for personnel salaries and benefits, food, water, electricity and rates. It will cover almost one month’s expenses.
“The funding from the NLC is greatly appreciated and will help make ends meet while less privileged members of our communities are served,” said Ayanda Matthews, the general manager responsible for managing MODA.

The NLC relies on funds from the proceeds of the National Lottery.
The Lotteries Act guides the way in which NLC funding may be allocated.
The intention of NLC funding is to make a difference to the lives of all South Africans, especially those more vulnerable and to improve the sustainability of the beneficiary organisations.
Available funds are distributed to registered and qualifying non-profit organisations in the fields of charities, arts, culture and national heritage and sport and recreation.
By placing its emphasis on areas of greatest need and potential, the NLC contributes to South Africa’s development.
