Who is Child Welfare Knysna?
As a child-protection organisation, their core business is to ensure that the best interest, safety and wellbeing of children are prioritised, with so much violence and abuse against children being reported, which include neglect, physical, emotional and sexual abuse as well as abandonment of children.
Children who were victims of these disturbing experiences, as well as orphaned children, count for more than 600 children that the social workers have to work with. In more than 250 of these cases, alternative care had to be found for the children concerned.
