Child welfare spreads hope and happiness
The organisation was founded in September 1926 by the then mayor of George in response to the high infant mortality rate of that time. A front page article in the George and Knysna Herald, dated 15 September 1926, bears testament to the problems on hand. Today, thanks to the support of GCW’s Patron, Sabine Plattner African Charities, the Department of Social Development and a host of donors, the organisation is rendering services to over 1 200 families, with an average of 50 new cases reported every month.
