In 1986, the centre was established as a response to the needs of mentally and physically challenged children of the Vel and surrounding areas. Parents of children living with disabilities came together and requested that the Lekoa Town council give them space for residential purposes in housing their children. They were given space at the Sebokeng Man's Hostel. Working parents brought their children to the centre and requested those who were not employed to look after and care for their children and contributed to salaries and dietary needs of their children.

The Deaf Federation of South Africa (DeafSA) acts as the national research, information and community action organisation on behalf of ± 600 000 South Africans that are culturally and linguistically Deaf. DeafSA, formerly known as the South African National Council for the Deaf (SANCD), was founded in 1929. And in 1995 the former SANCD was transformed to a new democratically elected organisation, namely, Deaf Federation of South Africa (DeafSA) . This resulted in a paradigm shift from an organisation for the Deaf to one of the Deaf. The changes in the constitution and attitudes also meant that decisions about the services and affairs of Deaf people were no longer taken by hearing people on behalf of Deaf people - but by the Deaf people. At present 100% of the National Executive Committee (NEC) of DeafSA are Deaf.

Here in Africa we welcome opportunity. We greet friends and strangers alike with a purposeful, well-meaning ‘hello’ in all the languages of our colourful continent. In much the same way as Africans, we are resolute in our determination to show the disease of Malaria that it is no longer welcome on our continent. It is our wish and our will to say ‘Goodbye Malaria’ in as many colourful languages and by as many engaging means as is necessary to rid us of Malaria once and for all.
