We wanted to create a South African Experience

“Ekhaya” fondly referred to in Zulu, one of our 11 South African languages , as “at home.” It forms part of Genesis Hope South Africa (Genesis Trust), which is situated in Port Shepstone, KZN, South Africa, which is a mere 130km South of the Holiday city, known as Durban.

Genesis is a mission’s arm of the Norwegian Settlers Church in Marburg.
