Knysna APD & Die Werkswinkel

Knysna APD & Die Werkswinkel Vision “To create an enabling environment in which our service to persons with disabilities contributes to a caring society” And this is their story.

Quite simply “The Werkswinkel” is a workshop, located in Hornlee, in the picturesque holiday town of Knysna. One of South Africa’s premier tourist destinations it offers visitors an opportunity to experience the rare natural beauty of an area which is widely known as the Garden Route. And whilst it has become the stamping ground of the rich and famous there is a forgotten corner ……….. in Hornlee w

here a group of people with disabilities work tirelessly to support both themselves, their families and to make a meaningful contribution to the community in which they live. The essential purpose of the Workshop is to provide these people with the opportunity of work and over time allow them to develop their skills while producing products which are then targeted for the open market. Apart from the physical construction of new items they also do repair and restoration of wooden furniture. The woodwork section consists of a workshop that contains a number of industrial quality tools and is the area where wood is cut and prepared for construction. Finish-off work such as sealing and sanding is done in the outside working area and lends itself to community interaction. The tools and materials have been donated by various organisations. Every working day a bus goes on a circuitous trip through the location and fetches the workers and then later, in the afternoon, drops them off.
