WHO WE ARE

Joburg Child Welfare (JCW) is a beacon of hope for vulnerable children in need of protective care. Since 1909, JCW, a non-profit organisation (NPO), has been dedicated to providing abused, abandoned, neglected, orphaned, and vulnerable children with the love and support they deserve.

We take pride in being one of the oldest NPO’s in South Africa, with over a century of experience in protecting children and striving to continue this vital mission for the next 100 years.
