OUR HISTORY

Established in 1983, Kungwini Welfare Organisation originated with the opening of the Paul Jungnickel Home, dedicated to providing care and support for adults with disabilities. This marked the organisation's initial steps in its commitment to fostering inclusivity and support for vulnerable individuals. The land on which Kungwini Welfare Organisation is situated was donated by the late Dr Arrie Jungnickel to the Cripple Care Association. The residential care facility is named after the only son of Dr and Mrs Jungnickel who was physically challenged Over the years, Kungwini Welfare has undergone significant growth, expanding its services and impact within the community. 

The cornerstone of Kungwini Welfare's efforts is the Paul Jungnickel Home, which has evolved into a comprehensive facility offering medical care and residence to a total of 140 disabled adults. In 2019, the organisation extended its commitment to senior adults with the inauguration of the Paul Jungnickel Home Senior, a specialised residence catering to the unique needs of 25 senior adults. This expansion exemplifies Kungwini Welfare's dedication to addressing the diverse needs of individuals across different life stages.

Beyond its residential facilities, Kungwini Welfare Organisation plays a crucial role in the broader community through its social work services and community upliftment projects. The organisation actively engages in initiatives designed to enhance the well-being of the entire community in its immediate area. A notable contribution to education is the Early Learning Centre, providing schooling for pre-school children within the community. This educational outreach reflects Kungwini Welfare's commitment to holistic community development, ensuring that the youngest members receive a strong foundation for their future.

Kungwini Welfare Organisation's journey since its inception in 1983 is marked by a steadfast commitment to supporting individuals with disabilities, expanding its services to meet the needs of seniors, and actively engaging in community development initiatives.
