The SAVF
108 years ago, a Scottish lady, Georgiana Solomon, founded the Suid-Afrikaanse Vroufederasie. Concern about the dire circumstances and poverty in South Africa after the Second Anglo-Boer was the reason for the creation of this organisation. Today the SAFV’s services, programs and projects provide hope to about 25 thousand people in need of welfare services and support in both rural and urban South Africa.
Our Mission
To render social services as a national welfare organisation to individuals and families within the community in order to empower them to improve their quality of life.
Our Vision

services in order to bring relief and healing to needy and traumatized children.
Social Development
SAVF believes in miracles. During the course of many years we have seen people
reach out to each other, structures have been erected, communities have taken responsibility,
and people have become involved and made a difference. Continuous miracles are within our reach, and
at our fingertips …
The Elderly
SAVF provides quality, integrated, affordable and accessible services to the
vulnerable and marginalized older and disabled persons in its residential
