GRANT Oosthuyzen, a local businessman and talented boccia player, officially launched his non-profit organisation, Get Inspired, recently. Through this initiative, he hopes to empower and uplift other disabled persons.
The project was founded in September last year and it promotes the well-being of the disabled in the community by providing skills development programmes and workshops, such as arts and crafts, sports and woodwork, across Durban.

“We are very passionate about the disabled community as many of them are vulnerable and are unable to do able-bodied work. Our programmes instill a sense of pride and dignity in the lives of the disabled and it teaches them general skills as well as entrepreneurial abilities that may help them in the future,” said Grant Oosthuyzen.
For more about the work done by the NPO, or to make a donation, contact 072 117 3716 or email info@getinspired.org.za. Alternatively, visit its website at www.getinspired.org.za.
