About us
Nazareth House and the Sisters of Nazareth
More than 160 years ago, our founder, Victoire Larmenier, began what was to become a global legacy of service when she opened the very first Nazareth House in Hammersmith, UK. In 1861, the Holy See allowed the Hammersmith community to separate from the Little Sisters of the Poor as an independent pious society of laywomen. After three years, the London sisters were recognised as a diocesan religious community under the title Sisters of Nazareth. Victoire’s ambitions to provide care for the poor, desolate, and abandoned soon expanded to Africa.
Today, Nazareth Care Africa plays an important role in continuing Victoire Larmenier’s mission on the African continent. Adapting to the times, Nazareth Care offers a range of aged care options while continuing its charitable work through two child and youth care centres and multiple outreaches across South Africa and Zimbabwe.
