Welcome to Quasar House
In 1981 a group of quadriplegics pooled their resources and purchased a house in Parow, Cape Town to accommodate themselves styled "Quasar House."
How We Started
For these quadriplegics, it was a dream come true seeing that it was the first time in many years that they could live independently and be in a position to make their own decisions and live and function in the community.
Committed to Independence
Quasar is committed to promoting independence, self reliance & understanding of quadriplegics. Quasar raises funds for quadriplegics with Golf Days, Charity Auctions, Conference Facilities, and One-Stop Mail & Print Solutions. Quasar advises on rehabilitation and trains care givers.
Part of the Community
The manner in which the new quadriplegic residents set themselves up as mature and independent functional members of the local community, later became a demonstration model on how independent disabled people can live and function in the community.

30 YEARS WITH QUASAR TRUST
HELPING QUADRIPLEGICS TO REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL
Quasar Trust is a service provider that provides 24 hour nursing care and accommodation to Quadriplegics.
A quadriplegic is a person who, through disease or accident, has lost total or partial use of his limbs. The major cause if this disability is accident. The groups of people typically affected are the young and active.
When someone has lost the use of his limbs, it does not mean that he has lost his spirit of independence.
Quasar and 6 radiographic students from Groote Schuur Hospital Campus carried out a community outreach project whereby we set up a reception area with a computer for the Chesire Home for disables people in Langa.
We hope to send some of the residents of Langa Chesire Home to do a computer training course, thus empowering them to become computer literate with the possibility of finding employment.
Donations Welcome
Quasar relies on donations and support from the public. Any financial assistance would be greatly appreciated and warmly received.
