Welcome to the home of the NCPPDSA
The National Council for Persons with Physical Disabilities in South Africa (NCPPDSA) is a NGO with a footprint throughout South Africa. We have nine Provincial Associations for Persons with Disabilities with numerous projects and branches with the focus on rural development; social- and economic empowerment.
NCPPDSA has an excellent record of accomplishment, sustainability and service
delivery we celebrated our 70th birthday last year! We managed to stay
relevant and remain a Council in transformation and our respect for diversity
are respected and valued by all we serve - as well as our
partners.

The National Council for Persons with Physical Disabilities was established on 9 October 1939 under the name of the National Council for the Care of Cripples in South Africa by four independent service organizations that felt the need for a coordinating body.
Seven independent Provincial Associations and four Regional Associations from the remaining two of the nine Provinces of the country, now constitute the Council.
These eleven organizations have ninety independent Branches of which at least
half are concentrated in Gauteng and the Western Cape Provinces.
