The Child and Family Welfare Society of Pietermaritzburg was started in 1921 by a group of white volunteers to provide support to families in distress. The need arose for similar services to be rendered to other race groups and Child Welfare Societies Emerged. In 1990, the complex and sensitive process of amalgamation was started and by
April 1994 the agency emerged as a unified, coherent, non racial agency with one staff, one headquarters and one board of management. AREAS OF OPERATION:
