The Neighbours
The House of Peace provides a warm and engaging home for 20 newcomer women of diverse cultures and voices. These women, who have suffered beyond measure due to poverty, war, violence and abuse, may stay for up to two years.
The House of Peace is dedicated to help them heal from past trauma, set goals and move forward together with dignity and hope.
Since 2004, over 200 newcomer women from 45 countries and 9 faith traditions have lived at the House of Peace as “Neighbours”, a term of endearment we use when referring to our residents.
Finding Home
“At the House of Peace, we are safe. I feel so happy and free inside because I am surrounded by wonderful women from all over the world. They have suffered so much, yet still, they love life and care for others.”
- Masego (Botswana)
