WELCOME TO REMME-LOS SELF HELP CENTRE

Welcome to Remme-Los, where our self-help centre isn’t just a concept, it is our daily way of life!

Founded in South Africa by quadriplegics for quadriplegics, Remme-Los Self-Help Centre is a vibrant, non-profit residential facility that provides a warm, homely environment for our residents living with physical disabilities. Backed by a dedicated, powerhouse team of full-time staff members, we offer the robust, round-the-clock support, caregiving, and transport needed to ensure we can unlock our full potential, live on our own terms, and live life to the absolute fullest.

Remme-Los Resident Dachunds

PAWS, LOVE, AND WHEELSCHAIRS!

A home isn’t truly a home without some furry family members, and our centre is kept extra lively by our two resident dachshund dogs!

Gracie,  our sweet girl, and Frankie, our demanding boy, are the official four-legged king and queen of the castle. Whether they are chasing down tennis balls, hitching rides on our wheelchair, or snuggling up for afternoon naps, these two long-bodied cuties bring endless smiles, therapeutic comfort, and daily joy to everyone in our house.

ROLLING PAST, OBSTACLES TOGETHER!

Living with a physical disability or spinal cord injury in South Africa comes with massive, everyday speedbumps. From highly inaccessible public buildings to a complete lack of safe public transport systems, we are frequently left fighting just to navigate basic spaces.

We are actively here to change that narrative through:

    • Empowered Living: Shifting away from a rigid medical model to a community-focused, decision-driven social model.
    • Outreach & Training: Extending our hands beyond our residential walls to offer skills development and caregiver training to families across our broader community.
