Honouring Heroes of Humanity: World Social Work Day 2026 🌍🤝

Marked on 17 March, World Social Work Day 2026 shines a spotlight on the incredible role social workers play in building unity, restoring dignity, and strengthening communities.

Under the 2026 theme, “Co-Building Hope and Harmony: A Harambee Call to Unite a Divided Society,” the day calls for collective action and reminds us of the power of coming together to overcome social challenges.

We spoke to Nomfundo Myani from Child Welfare South Africa, who shared insights into the realities of social work, the importance of community support, and how unity can help create safer, more inclusive spaces for the most vulnerable.

Today is more than just a celebration—it’s a powerful reminder that real change happens when we stand together. 💙
