# JCWFutureReady

South Africa faces significant challenges in child welfare, with issues ranging from child poverty to abuse and neglect. Despite the robust legal frameworks like the Children’s Act of 2005, which aims to protect children comprehensively, implementation remains inconsistent.

In response to these challenges, JCW is embarking on a transformative journey. We highlight 4 ways JCW’s strategic vision for child welfare comes alive in our latest blog article. Read it here - https://bit.ly/3VaVkJo

During Child Protection Week, community workers from Masibambisane Community Centre led an engaging child safety session with Don Mattera School in Eldorado Park. The school serves learners with special education needs due to intellectual impairments. Masi’s session covered various risks that threaten child safety and highlighted behaviours that should be reported to teachers or other adults. To make learning fun and memorable, the session was conducted through games and songs.

👣As we move forward, JCW is dedicated to implementing innovative child welfare solutions that not only meet today's needs but also prepare us for tomorrow's challenges.

Stay connected to see how we are turning our vision into reality and how you can be a part of this transformative journey. 💡
