How can we help them?

Realities that you don’t

see everyday…

Social Welfare

Social welfare is described as “the organized system of social services and institutions, designed to aid individuals and groups to attain satisfying standards of life and health” (Friedlander, 1980).

Social welfare encompasses the well-being and interests of large number of people, including their physical, educational, mental, emotional, spiritual, and economic needs.

Social work is becoming more important because thousands of persons are benefiting from its services and are telling their friends and associates who have problems of its many values and services.

Does Social Work Fit For Me?

Social Workers help people to overcome life’s problems.

Do you: – Have a genuine interest in people?

– Believe in the human potential for growth?

– Enjoy working with people?
