Welcome to the website of one of the oldest and largest children's NGOs in South Africa.

The Johannesburg Child Welfare Society (JCWS) has been at the forefront of providing direct services to children, families and communities in distress since 1909. Last financial year, we reached over 18,000 underprivileged children, families and communities  through a team of dedicated and highly qualified professionals who extended vital care and support to those in need. 

We thank our sponsors, donors, volunteers and individuals who enable us to continue our vital work in the communities that we serve!

It is the vision of the Johannesburg Child Welfare Society to provide holistic child protection services to children in the Greater Johannesburg area.

Our mission is to care about children,

their families and communities,

promoting their rights, well being and dignity.
