The Mercury Hibberdene Children’s Holiday Home nestled on an unspoilt stretch of Kwa Zulu Natal South Coast
just an hour’s drive from Durban, provides a quiet retreat for underprivileged children.
For many children it’s the first time they have seen the sea and the memory of a holiday at the home remains with them forever – prompting some to return later in life to help preserve the home for the children of the future.
Since its doors were first opened to give underprivileged children much needed holiday breaks at the beach, the
home has been funded through donations, street collections and fund raising projects.
From the mid-nineties a major portion of the home’s income has also been generated by renting it to guests such
as school, church and sports groups, when it is not occupied during holidays by the underprivileged children for
whom it was built.
