Joburg Child Welfare
Children in Johannesburg

provides direct services to children aged 0 – 18 and through our Orphaned and Vulnerable Children Forum, we assist community based organisations in providing services to orphaned and vulnerable children within the communities they serve.
Jo’burg Child Welfare.

Temporary and long term places of safety, building blocks for a child's future. Our vision is of a society where children can grow up strong, safe and happy, where parents and caregivers can create the best possible family setting, so that no child suffers. Last year, our dedicated team of over 200 staff and volunteers reached over 47,000 children and individuals through protection, adoption, foster care, residential care, education and training work. Since 1909, Jo’burg Child Welfare has played a pivotal role in child care and protection strategies across the country. Nationally we advise on legislation to protect children, and through advocacy work we ensure children have a voice to influence services which affect them. Our Hero Squad are changing lives one kilometre at a time. Join the team and help Jo'burg's orphaned, abandoned and neglected children live a better life.
