The National Association of Child Care Workers is a registered non-profit organization working independently to promote optimal standards of care for orphaned, vulnerable and at-risk children and youth.

A unique professional association, the NACCW comprises a membership body as well as a professional services section undertaking a range of activities aimed at improving the quality of life for children and families – particularly those affected by HIV/AIDS and poverty.

All NACCW activities are focused on improving the quality of services provided to at-risk children and youth through developing the abilities of those who work directly with them – child and youth care workers.
