Child welfare charities play a vital role in protecting children and babies in South Africa, making sure they are fed, cared for, clothed and loved.

 

South Africa (23 January 2024) – Thousands of people are working all hours of the day to make sure that South African children are protected. These are all the organisations we hope to support through 2024!

Child welfare is such a multi-faceted sphere which is why there are so many different kinds of organisations. Below, you will find orphanages, adoption pages, protection groups, and so much more! We are working on a separate list for educational groups so if you have one, please do send it along.

If we have missed an organisation or charity, please email tyler@goodthingsguy.com, and we will add it soonest; kindly supply the relevant links, which list you want to be added to, as well as which province the organisation works in, the NPO registration details and a brief description of what the organisation does.

Please note that this is a working list, so keep sending through your charities, and we will keep adding them!
