Welcome to The Peace Agency
Over the past 15 years we have helped
vulnerable children and mothers.
At The Peace Agency, we are dedicated to transforming the lives of vulnerable children and children.
Our mission is to create safe, nurturing environments where children can thrive, while also empowering mothers and communities through education, advocacy, and support. By fostering
a culture of compassion and active citizenship, we strive to ensure that every child in our care has the opportunity of a brighter future.
The Peace Agency is a KwaZulu-Natal-based non-profit organization dedicated to supporting orphans and vulnerable children and vulnerable mothers through various initiatives.
Over the past 15 years, we have established several Babyhomes in and around Durban. These are safe, nurturing environments for abandoned and orphaned babies and infants placed for adoption. Several Babyhomes have successfully transitioned into independent NGOs, allowing us to expand our impact even further. Currently, The Peace Agency operates The Durban North Babyhome.
Over 10 years ago we opened the Hammarsdale Child Care Centre in the rural community of Woody Glen near Hammarsdal. This centre cares for and educates children in need of daycare and Early Childhood Development and supports the surrounding community.
In 2022, we opened Babyline, a confidential support and counselling service for at-risk mothers.
Founded in 2010, The Peace Agency is a registered NPO with the Department of Social Development and a Public Benefit Organization (PBO) with SARS. We are also a Level 1 B-BBEE contributor
Our Key Initiatives
Durban North Babyhome
A sanctuary for abandoned and orphaned babies and babies given up for adoption, The Babyhome provides round-the-clock care, medical attention, and emotional nurturing to ensure these infants receive the best possible start in life. Our dedicated team of caregivers, social workers, and volunteers work tirelessly to create a warm, family-like environment where each child can flourish.
Hammarsdale Child Care Centre
With a vision to uplift struggling families, the Hammarsdale Child Care Centre offers daily care and early childhood education to 20 babies and toddlers from the rural Woody Glen community outside Hammarsdale. Many of these children come from young, single-parent households where mothers may still be in school or seeking employment. In addition to childcare and Early Childhood Development, we distribute essential donations, such as clothing, baby supplies and food parcels to support struggling local families.
Babyline
082 069 9067
A critical resource for at-risk mothers, Babyline offers immediate counselling and support through phone, WhatsApp, and social media platforms. This helpline provides guidance on parenting, legal options, crisis intervention, and alternative solutions for mothers who may be unable to care for their children. Instead of merely addressing physical needs, Babyline connects these women to a nationwide network of NGOs, faith-based groups, and individual supporters who can offer practical support.
