LIV Durban

LIV Durban LIV provides holistic residential care for orphaned and vulnerable children. LIV exists to raise the next generation of leaders in our nation.

It is our mission, our purpose, and our passion. We place parentless children into a family environment where they receive unconditional love, spiritual discipleship, care and nurturing. All their physical needs are met. Children are tomorrow’s future, so the manner in which they are raised will influence who they become. HIV/AIDS and poverty have resulted in many children being abandoned and orph

aned. We want these children to grow up to be a generation that will influence positive change within South Africa, our continent and indeed the world. If these children are equipped with essential moral values and life skills, they truly can live lives that influence and inspire significance and lasting impact. The future plan is to see many villages across our land, raising future leaders, and ‘turning scars into stars’ by providing a fresh start in a supportive community. The train is moving….we invite you to get onboard.

This day, a week ago, we hosted our 15-year celebration at the village - surrounded by the village of people who enable the work we get to do in restoring the lives of young people. It was a day of world-class music and performances, stories shared, and remembrance of His unwavering goodness and faithfulness.

We were joined by the KZN Philharmonic Orchestra KZN Philharmonic Orchestra , with soloists who are our very own released children: Justin Justin Zulu and Muzi Muzi Gwayi (part of our first group of released children in 2018), and Sane Fiona Dube and Sne Cele Snenhlanhla (released in 2023).

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be releasing snippets from the day on this page - but if you missed the livestream, it’s available on our YouTube (link in bio).

We look forward to the healing, restoration and life still to come in the next 15 years of LIV Durban - for our children, and for us all!

Every year on the 9th of August, we not only celebrate Women’s Day, but also LIV Durban’s birthday! Today was an extra special one - we celebrated birthday number 15! Fifteen years of witnessing the love, faithfulness and goodness of our Father. We have tasted and seen that our Lord is good. We look forward to the next 15 - we know the best is yet to come. Happy birthday, LIV Durban!

Jehova Mekadesh — the Lord who sanctifies.

This week, we will be focusing on another of God’s names in the Bible, Jehova Mekadesh. Have a scroll through this post to find out more about who God tells us He is through this name, and how He promises to sanctify us when we give Him our hearts.

Today we welcomed our little ones back to the ECD, and we could not be happier. 💛

An average day at LIV Durban’s ECD holds many different things: colour, music, noise, playing, crying, napping and jumping. But one thing you can always count on when visiting the ECD is joy.

We love seeing the childlike joy that reminds us of the safety we experience when we are both fully seen and fully loved, even with some big emotions!

Have a sneak peek into playtime at the ECD.

This is Summer.

When Summer first came to South Africa after leaving behind a background in professional netball in the UK, she came on a short term mission trip with an anti-trafficking organization. She witnessed miracles and saw the Lord move powerfully.

However, when Summer found herself living at LIV Durban, coaching netball, working in the therapy department and throwing herself into the long, slow walk of discipleship, the Lord revealed powerful truths to her about the importance of the heart, no matter where we find ourselves.

We hope her story brings light to your heart!

See you next Friday.

Kids need to move.

At LIV Durban, we have been so blessed to recently welcome Nadia and her husband Ruan to our team on the village. With a background in teaching dance, Nadia has implemented a dance class routine for our kids on the village, and we have loved watching our kids experience regular rhythms of dance and movement with her every week.

Have a sneak peak into one of our Grade 2 classes shaking it out with Miss Nadia!
