St. Philomena’s was established 1895 at the location of the now existing St. Augustine’s Hospital on the Berea just outside the city of Durban, KZN; with the aim of providing developmental care for orphaned and vulnerable children (OVCs) and youth. Starting off as a Children’s Home, St. Philomena’s is now a Community Development Centre & Children’s Home, whose beneficial reach to children, youth, young single mothers in crisis and families, has compounded through updating our projects and social development activities.
