Avril Elizabeth Home is a Johannesburg-based organization providing a lifelong home for adults with intellectual disabilities. Its mission is to offer permanent care in a safe, welcoming environment where residents are treated with respect and tenderness, and can experience belonging, inclusion, and empowerment. The Home provides ongoing medical attention and long-term support tailored to the people in its care, with a commitment to honoring each resident’s individuality and dignity.

Avril Elizabeth Home invites individuals and businesses to help sustain and strengthen its work. Support options include making a gift to fund essential resources and care, sponsoring specific needs through personal or corporate partnerships, and volunteering time and skills to build meaningful connections with residents. The organization also shares the story of Tumi, its travelling teddy bear, whose legacy reflects how a small act of generosity can inspire lasting community support. Through compassionate care and opportunities for people to contribute, Avril Elizabeth Home works to create a brighter future for its residents and keep its doors open to those who need a permanent home.
