Welcome

The purpose of Child Welfare Kenton on Sea & Bushmansriver is to:

The organisation became Child Welfare South Africa: Kenton/Bushmans in 1993 when the National Council together with the community realised there was a need to establish this particular organisation.

Child Welfare SA: Kenton/Bushmans is the only organisation in this area currently rendering services to children between the ages of 0-13 years of age. Most of the members of the communities we serve view our office as a sort of advice office and therefore approach us for assistance with various matters such as assistance with the application of Care Dependency Grants, Child Support Grants, Disability Grants and counselling.

What we do

Child Welfare Kenton/Bushmans manages two Soup Kitchens, namely, Noluthando and Helping Hands.

We feed up to 112 children per day and manage After Care Services for up to 80 children per day through the Uviwe Activity Centre and Helping Hands Centre situated in Ekuphumleni. We manage Foster Care cases of about 70 families and also monitor and supervise Marcel Thokomala Foster Home.

Our Social Worker, Nomaxabiso Sojola, who is assisted by the Social Auxiliary Worker, Gladys Hani, do screening of clients, conduct home visits and do the foster care placement of children through our courts of law. Both our social workers provide counselling to their clients which includes both parents and children. In addition, group work is also done with children, teaching them about life skills and parenting skills.
