About Jo’burg Child Welfare
Every child is vulnerable. Some are lucky enough to have protective care in loving family homes. Others depend on us to find or provide that for them. This has been the case since our nonprofit organisation was founded in 1909
Be part of something great
There are many ways to get involved and be part of the positive change that we drive for children. Whether you want to donate or volunteer in your personal capacity, or you need to show your board members that your CSR/CSI initiatives are radically transforming our community, our fundraising team will match you with the right channels and projects.

Self Sustainability
ts fill with pride when we see the children in the Othandweni Independent Living Skills programme taking their duties so seriously. These children come every day to work the veggie garden in Soweto to ensure they have fresh veggies to eat. Being in lockdown has changed their perspective, especially the older ones, who now understand the importance of self-sufficiency.
Feed a Child/Family
u were to go to your favorite restaurant right now, what would you order? What would it cost? And if you can’t enjoy dining out at the moment, perhaps you’d like to donate the cost of that meal to Joburg Child Welfare children?
Birthdays are still celebrated!
Life carries on regardless of nasty viruses! Days tick past and birthdays come and go. But before they go, they need to be celebrated – and we thank donors for bringing colour and cheer to these special occasions.
