The EARTH Centre

The EARTH Centre NPC is a registered non-profit organisation providing free equine-assisted therapeutic interventions to children living with disabilities and neurodevelopmental conditions, primarily from underserved communities across Johannesburg and surrounding areas. Working in partnership with special-needs schools, The EARTH Centre creates access to structured, horse-assisted interventions that support children’s physical, cognitive, emotional and social development. Every child should have access to opportunities that enable them to participate, develop, connect and experience joy — regardless of disability or economic circumstance. Our mission is to improve the wellbeing, development and participation of children living with disabilities through accessible, structured and professionally facilitated equine-assisted interventions. Each year, The EARTH Centre provides services to more than 100 children, at no cost to the children, their families or participating schools.
