Down Syndrome Support Polokwane

09/10/2026

October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month — a month to raise awareness, celebrate persons with Down syndrome and challenge the barriers that still prevent full inclusion.

Throughout October, we’ll be sharing daily facts about Down syndrome — helping to challenge misconceptions, increase understanding and celebrate the lives, achievements and contributions of persons with Down syndrome.

Keep an eye out for our daily posts and help us spread awareness by sharing them!

Together, we can change perceptions and create more inclusive communities.

Include Us – Every Day. Everywhere. EVERY TIME.
