vulnerable children and mothers.

A KwaZulu-Natal-based non-profit organisation

Dedicated to supporting orphans and vulnerable children and vulnerable mothers through various initiatives.

 

For more than fifteen years, The Peace Agency has been committed to creating safe, loving environments for vulnerable children and families in and around Durban. Our work began with the establishment of Baby Homes that provide nurturing care for abandoned and orphaned babies placed for adoption. Several of these homes have grown into independent non profit organisations, allowing our impact to extend even further. Today, we continue this mission through Baby Home Durban North.

 

More than a decade ago, we opened the Hammarsdale Child Care Centre in the rural community of Woody Glen near Hammarsdale. This centre offers early childhood development, daycare, and vital support to children and families within the surrounding community.

 

In 2022, we expanded our services with the launch of Baby Line, a confidential support and counselling service for mothers at risk, offering guidance, care, and hope during difficult times.

 

Founded in 2010, The Peace Agency is a registered non profit organisation with the Department of Social Development and a Public Benefit Organisation with SARS. We are proud to be a Level One B BBEE contributor, dedicated to making a lasting difference through compassion, care, and community upliftment.

Our Key Initiatives

Baby Home Durban North

A sanctuary for abandoned and orphaned babies and babies given up for adoption, The Baby Home Durban North 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.

 Baby Line

082 069 9067

A critical resource for at-risk mothers, Baby Line 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, Baby Line connects these women to a nationwide network of NGOs, faith-based groups, and individual supporters who can offer practical support.
