Who we are

The MacKillop Family Services is a Foundation that came into existence in the year 1997. It was formed by three main congregations namely the Sisters of Mercy, the Sisters of St Joseph and the Christian Brothers. Although these congregations had by then been together for over 132 years, it was not until the year 1997 that they formally established the MacKillop Family Services.

The MacKillop Family Services Foundation was mainly formed to provide accommodation services and other supportive services for children who had been rendered orphans or have been left on their own and also for women with children who needed such assistance.

The values of MacKillop Family Services

The MacKillop Family Services values the following;

  1. To seek for justice in all circumstances
  2. To provide hope for those who have lost theirs
  3. To collaborate with others in ensuring that the needs of these people are provided for
  4. To be compassionate to each and every individual
  5. To be respectful of every individual without looking at where the person is coming from

What are the services provided by the Foundation?

The Foundation provides the following services;

Educational Services

The MacKillop Family Services sees to it that appropriate educational assistance is given to each and every child who has been recognised as being prone to having his or her education cut short. It is also given to those who have already had their education cut short so that they can continue with where they stopped.

Out-of-Home Care Services

The MacKillop Family Services also has about three major Out-of-Home Care facilities which are used in providing various services like foster care, therapeutic foster care among others. These services are provided for children who have been recognised as living in areas or with people who have the tendency to either abuse them or neglect them. These services therefore provide such kids with accommodation and supportive services that allows them to develop in a more appropriate way than where they were before.

Family Services

The Foundation also has a number of centres that help with the provision of various services that are rendered to families of children who are either vulnerable or have been subjected to abusive actions. This service provides families with all that they need in order to stick together as one big loving family through the provision of services that guides them in the right things to do to ensure that the family is always happy.
