Girls and Boys Town South Africa’s central focus is on creating opportunities for youth to succeed and is particularly sensitive to working with boys, girls, families, professionals and communities who are less advantaged and in greatest need.

Today, Girls and Boys Town South Africa has a proud record of success and is regarded by professionals as the leader in helping youth “at risk” – where the State, Universities and other organisations are working with us to meet child, youth, family, professional and community needs in the parenting, education, child and community care arena.
