Family and Marriage Society of South Africa (FAMSA)
The family is the nucleus of society, and when it weakens or crumbles the stability of the entire community is adversely affected. It is thus imperative to initiate and co-ordinate resources to maintain a healthy and happy marriage and family life. FAMSA was established as a result of this need.

Social Workers with specialised training are employed to assist the community. Manpower is augmented by recruiting volunteers from the community, and FAMSA provides a high standard of selection and training for these volunteers.

FAMSA's mission is to empower people to build, reconstruct and maintain sound relationships in marriages, families and communities. They do this by providing services such as community development, counseling, employee support, training and education.
