The Durban Child & Youth Care Centre (formerly Durban Children’s Home) is a registered non-profit organisation that has been caring for vulnerable children since 1905. Based in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, the organisation provides a safe, therapeutic, and nurturing environment for children who have been orphaned, abandoned, neglected, abused, or affected by chronic illnesses and disabilities.
DCH focuses not only on residential care but also on strengthening families and communities. Through family reunification and support programmes, the organisation works towards returning children to safe family environments whenever possible, ensuring long-term stability and well-being.
