A key element of the fete is support for Kerr House, which celebrates 75 years of service this year. The Durban Hospice for Women was established in 1951 as a shelter for ‘Women in Crisis’. Kerr House accommodates up to 15 women and children who are mostly victims of gender-based violence. They receive professional help from a full-time social worker while house mothers ensure the smooth running of Kerr House.
The residents are taught skills, and the craft items made are sold at the St Cyprian’s annual fete.
St Cyprians is at 603 Umbilo Road, and the fete takes place on Saturday, June 27, from 8am until 2pm.
