Welcome to Abalindi Welfare Society
Founded in the aftermath of apartheid, Abalindi Welfare Society has been a beacon of hope for the community of Amatikwe Village, Durban, for over four decades. Born out of a desire to provide shelter and care to those affected by poverty and violence, our organization has grown into a thriving hub of support and empowerment. Today, we provide a safe haven for vulnerable children and elderly, and offer a range of services and initiatives that promote education, skills development, and sustainable livelihoods. Guided by Christian values and compassion, we remain committed to transforming lives and building a brighter future for our community.
