Support
The Greater Benoni Child Welfare renders statutory services to any community member who falls in their area of service delivery and presents with a psychosocial problem. Their caseload is currently 1 000 families in Benoni and Daveyton.
Benoni Child Welfare aims to protect and promote the interests, well-being, safety and development of such children within the context of family and community and safeguard the rights of children through a holistic, intersectoral, developmental and comprehensive system of social services.
They are a NPO reliant on the support and funding from private and corporate donors and sponsors to supplement the inadequate funding from the government.
