The Family Life Centre: FAMSA Johannesburg was established in 1949 by volunteers in response to the increase in marital and family breakdowns. Today, 76 years later, the professionalised organisation continues to respond to the same needs and increasingly serious societal issues. The core belief, rooted in research, is that functional families are the cornerstone of a healthy society. The Family Life Centre promotes the integrity of all families and engenders resilience and hope; the belief that functional families rest at the heart of a successful society.
The Family Life Centre: FAMSA Johannesburg is a non-profit one-stop family centre where every member of the family is supported and empowered through utilizing one or more of the services that The Centre provides. Primarily, the work is implemented in impoverished, disadvantaged communities to address issues related to family empowerment and preservation, including orphan and vulnerable families, child-headed households, single-parent families, teenage parents and children, and spouses in abusive families.
