The Brahma Kumaris took root in South Africa in the mid-1980s, at a time of profound social and political change. What began with small gatherings in private homes and community spaces soon grew into dedicated centres in major cities including Johannesburg, Durban, Port Elizabeth, Nelspruit, and Cape Town. Over the years, its message of soul consciousness, equality, dignity, and peace has provided a unifying space for people across racial, cultural, religious, and social backgrounds, contributing to the spirit of healing and reconciliation in post-apartheid South Africa. The organization is sustained by a dedicated network of volunteer teachers and service-minded individuals across the country.

The Brahma Kumaris’ journey in Mauritius has grown into a vibrant network of centers and retreat spaces, carrying a message of peace, co-operation and human values across the island. Over the years, Mauritius has actively participated in international initiatives such as the Million Minutes of Peace Appeal (1986), Global Co-operation for a Better World (1988) and Sharing Our Values for a Better World (1994), bringing these values into wider public life.

Serve Africa Project
The Serve Africa Project, launched in 2004, brought together teachers, students and volunteers from across Africa and around the world in a shared journey of service and connection. What began as a vision to reach beyond 16 countries blossomed into a network of 78 centres, touching countless lives through spiritual learning, cooperation and personal transformation. These glimpses capture the spirit of that journey—many faces, many cultures, one shared light.
