About us

The Shumeez Scott Foundation was founded by Ms Shumeez Scott in 2018, who at a young age seemed determined to make a difference in her own life and in the lives of others.

Being Down syndrome herself, her life’s motto has become the ethos of the foundation …

’IF YOU CAN DREAM IT, YOU CAN DO IT”…

Located in Cape Town (South Africa), we are a registered NPO Organisation complaint with a Section 18 A Exemption Certificate, focusing on individuals with Down Syndrome and Special Needs.
