The garden is more than just a place to grow vegetables. It gives the children at Joburg Child Welfare an opportunity to learn, get hands-on experience and understand where some of the food on their plates comes from.

Through activities like these, children are encouraged to explore, learn new skills and grow their curiosity while enjoying the outdoors. 💙

“It's a calling.” 💙

For Gcebeli Dlamini, being involved in the lives of young people at Joburg Child Welfare is about answering that calling. As a social activist, actress, lecturer at AFDA and founder of her own foundation, she is passionate about creating opportunities for young people and helping them see beyond their current circumstances.

Through the Inner City Project, Gcebeli brings that passion into the lives of young people at JCW, reminding us of the difference that showing up, getting involved and believing in young people can make.

You can be part of that difference too. Get involved with Joburg Child Welfare and help create more opportunities for young people to learn, grow and build brighter futures: https://jhbchildwelfare.org.za/get-involved/

Children deserve time to play, laugh, explore and make memories. 💙

At Princess Alice, Play Play Day gives children the chance to take a break from their daily routines and enjoy what childhood should be about: having fun and simply being kids.
You can help make this possible by sponsoring a Play Play Day and giving the children a day filled with joy, laughter and memories they can carry with them.

Help make a special day possible for the children at Princess Alice by sponsoring a day of fun, laughter and play. Get in touch with Joburg Child Welfare to find out how you can make a difference:https://jhbchildwelfare.org.za/get-involved/

Protecting children from sexual abuse takes more than laws. Children need to be heard, believed and supported and those responsible must be held accountable.

Following the allegations involving suspended Deputy National Police Commissioner Shadrack Sibiya, Joburg Child Welfare shares its perspective on child protection and the need for justice in this Mail & Guardian article.

For 117 years, Joburg Child Welfare has been working to protect children, support families and give children the care and support they need to thrive.

This journey would not have been possible without the social workers, caregivers, partners, donors, volunteers and communities who have supported our work over the years.

As we celebrate this milestone, we are grateful to everyone who has been part of our journey. But there is still work to be done and we need your support to continue making a difference in the lives of children and families.

You can be part of the next chapter. Whether you choose to donate, volunteer or partner with us, your support can help us continue protecting children and giving them the opportunity to thrive. 💙
