Mother of Peace Mission Statement
Mother of Peace Communities are called by God to restore traditional family life, in particular the Catholic family way of life based on Christian Gospel values and the teachings of the Catholic Church.
Having regard for the needs, interests, and well-being of the general public, all Mother of Peace Communities strive to meet the particular needs of the area in which the Community lives and operates, by aiding persons in distress. This encompasses, inter alia: caring for abandoned children and providing the structure of a home and family; maintaining language and cultural identities where possible; bringing up children to be responsible members of society; and, providing palliative care to the terminally ill.
Mother of Peace is situated in Lower Illovo, Kwazulu Natal. Although classed as a rural area, we are just 30 minutes from Durban, one of the largest cities in South Africa. Mother of Peace has 41 free standing units and a large double storey building on its property. Of the 41 free standing units, 20 are in the process of being upgraded to house Orphans and Vulnerable children from surrounding communities. Each unit will house six children, together with a house mother.
