About St Luke’s Home of Healing

What is St Luke's Home of Healing?

St Luke’s Home of Healing is a registered Non-Profit Organisation (NPO) providing full-time residential care to 26 adults with severe mental and physical disabilities. Located at Holwood Estate on the R74 Greytown Road near Stanger (KwaDukuza) in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, the home has served the community for over 81 years. Our dedicated team provides 24/7 nursing care, therapeutic activities, nutritious meals, and a loving family environment.

Why is St Luke's Home of Healing in a funding crisis?

In early 2026, the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Health unexpectedly withdrew its state funding subsidies that had been supporting the facility’s operations. This sudden loss of government funding left St Luke’s in an immediate financial crisis. The facility now relies entirely on private donations, community fundraising, and in-kind support to sustain the care of its 26 vulnerable residents.

How can I support St Luke's Home of Healing?

There are several ways to help: make a financial donation (one-time or monthly recurring) through our secure online donation page; purchase essential supplies from our online store, which are delivered directly to the home; volunteer your time or professional skills; organise a fundraising event in your community; or attend our annual Christmas Country Fair at Collisheen Estate. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a direct impact on our residents’ lives.

Where is St Luke's Home of Healing located?

St Luke’s Home of Healing is situated at Holwood Estate on the R74 Greytown Road, just outside Stanger (KwaDukuza) in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. The postal address is Box 27, Kearsney, 4453. The facility relocated to the former Kearsney Hospital premises in 2013 to optimise accessibility and reduce building maintenance costs. Phone: 032 552 8074.

Who manages St Luke's Home of Healing?

St Luke’s Home of Healing is overseen by a volunteer management committee. Lisa O’Mant serves as Chairperson, having taken over leadership in 2024 from Sue Rowland, who served the organisation with distinction for 26 years. The day-to-day care of residents is delivered by a team of professional nursing and caregiving staff who provide round-the-clock support.
