The Durban Children’s Homes is a non-profit organization, which was founded in 1905. The core business of the organization is to provide needy children, young people and their families with a range of services, which recognizes their existing strengths and provides opportunities for them to meet their developmental needs.

The organization, based in the suburb of Glenwood, within the city of Durban, has over the past 10 years worked tirelessly to transform its programmes. This has ensured that these programmes are relevant and in line with the Child and Youth Care Policy of our country.

Remarkably, in this relatively short space of time we have been able to add an additional three programmes to our service. Our main business is providing residential care to troubled and needy children and young people. Of our 3 new programmes, 2 are residential with a specialist focus, whilst the third is a community-based project.
