About Us

Mission Statement of the organization.
‘The Durban Children’s Homes is committed to providing children, youth and their families, from the Ethekweni Metropolitan communities, with child care programmes, which ensure a relevant and effective service. These programmes meet the individual developmental needs of children and youth, thereby ensuring that new skills are learnt, existing strengths are enhanced and a sense of well being and security is experienced by every young person in our care.’


The Developmental Approach provided the framework for the services provided to children, young people and their families in each of the programmes offered. A strengths based perspective, ensures that children, young people and their families are viewed as unique individuals who have meaningful contributions to make to their own future. The Rights of Children are central to all our programmes and are respected and advocated for at all times.
