The Mission Statement of Mother of Peace

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 addresses the impact of the HIV/AIDS epidemic on orphans and vulnerable children through family care units and a day care centre. A training centre is also being established to offer training to HIV/AIDS volunteers and in agricultural, building and other skills. Mother of Peace has attracted the support of other parishes both in the archdiocese and overseas. It also accommodates organisations such as the Bobbi Bear Foundation and the I Care Christian School both of which care for abused children.

Initiated and supported by parishioners it is located in the former lllovo Sugar Estates hostel where a great deal of effort has been and continues to be on the refurbishment of buildings in the complex. Although a great deal has been accomplished there are many challenges to overcome not least of which is to win the wholehearted support of parishioners.

Mother of Peace is a non-profit organisation.
