15 Edgar Street, Somerset West, Cape Town, South Africa
The ACVV was established on 1 September 1904 in Cape Town by a group of women who wished to offer practical assistance to those affected by the Anglo Boer War. From these humble beginnings the ACVV's services have grown and transformed from emergency relief, primary health care and educational services to comprehensive social work and child protection services for children and older persons. Over decades we have expanded our footprint from a few women to one of the largest welfare organisations in South Africa.
