Welcome to our Family of Care Takers!

AFM Welfare is the official welfare ministry of The Apostolic Faith Mission of South Africa. It was established in 1938 and registered as a National Welfare Council in 1945. It promotes welfare work in its broadest sense within South African communities. Some of the most significant challenges people in South Africa face are poverty, crime, family breakdown, AIDS, substance abuse and addiction and violence against women, children and older persons. At the heart of AFM Welfare is the desire to care for and protect, to uplift and develop, and to lend a helping hand to those in need. Helping others to help themselves is the ultimate success of empowerment and upliftment.
