For more than fifteen years, The Peace Agency has been committed to creating safety, support and care for vulnerable women and children, in and around Durban and now,
nationwide. Our work began with the establishment of Baby Homes. These small, family-based places of safety provide nurturing care for abandoned and orphaned babies awaiting permanent life solutions. These solutions range from reunification with their own families, or placement in loving adoptive families. Several of these homes have grown into
independent non-profit organisations, allowing our impact to extend even further. Today, we continue this mission through the Durban North Baby Home.
More than a decade ago, we opened the Hammarsdale Child Care Centre in the rural community of Woody Glen between Durban and Pietermaritzburg. 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. This is a confidential support and counselling service for vulnerable mothers faced with unimaginably difficult life choices. The service offers care, compassion and connection to a network of partners countrywide.
Founded in 2010, The Peace Agency is a registered non-profit organisation with the Department of Social Development, and a Public Benefit Organisation registered with SARS.
We are proud to be a Level One B-BBEE contributor, dedicated to making a lasting difference in the lives of our country’s most vulnerable.
Based in, KwaZulu Natal, South Africa, the Durban North Baby Home is a haven of love and care for abandoned and orphaned babies and babies awaiting permanent life solutions. The Baby Home 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 crisis parents, caregivers, social workers, and volunteers work tirelessly to create a warm, family-like environment where each child can flourish.
With a vision for early childhood development and community upliftment, the Hammarsdale Child Care Centre offers daily care and 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

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.
We are delighted to have Professor Thuli Madonsela as our Patron. We hope that you will have the opportunity to meet her at one of our events.
