Vision & Mission
Our Vision
We believe that every child is precious and is deserving our love and support
Who We Are
Timion is a humanitarian organization based in Jeffreys Bay, South Africa.
Who We Serve
Our work is dedicated to marginalized children with disabilities in the rural areas and townships of South Africa. We help them regardless of religion, origin, ethnicity and gender. Currently we are focusing on the Eastern Cape of South Africa, however, our expertise and products have already been requested across the whole of SA and used in other countries such as India, Jordan, Lesotho, Swaziland and Kyrgyzstan.
What We Do
We produce various assistive equipment to meet the individual needs of children with disabilities.
Our therapists fit the equipment during home visits and instruct and encourage the carers. Our counsellors also visit the carers regularly and help them to face their challenges.
We run holiday camps, where the children are individually cared for whilst the carers are treated to some fun, friendship and practical encouragement.
In therapy and teaching orientated camps, we empower the carers to do simple therapy and daily activities with their children.
We facilitate the opportunity for the children to benefit from Hippotherapy (therapy on the back of a horse).
We work with local hospitals and provide equipment and training.
Why We Serve
Motivated by our faith in Jesus Christ we serve those often disregarded by society as a demonstration of God’s unconditional love for all children.
Core Values
- We believe there is hope for a better quality of life for children with Cerebral Palsy (CP).
- We serve children with physical disabilities living in poverty.
- No child should be disadvantaged by having a barrier to accessing disability equipment due to their socio-economic background.
- We are convinced that the ability of children with CP to reach their full potential lies to a great extent with their caregivers, and therefore we need to invest in them.
- We strive to always give the best quality in our manufacturing and services.
- We believe honesty, transparency, and mutual respect are key to successful teamwork.
