I started Isiaiah 54, 27 years ago. I always wanted 6 children, unfortunately I was not able to hold my pregnancies after I give birth to my daughter. After many miscarriages and the death of my second baby I never lost the “mommy” in me.

ABOUT US

Isiaiah 54 started 27 years ago with two friends of Glynnis’ daughter.
These two girls were sexually abused at home and Glynnis offered these two girls a safe place.
Now Isiaiah54 has grown to a large family with children who are abused and abandoned, between the ages of 0 to 18. Isiaiah 54 is not just a roof over their head and food, it's a big family where they belong , it is a house that they can call home. It does not matter what their background is or their beliefs , as long as we can make a difference for that child in particular.

We don’t only help abused and abandoned children but we also help the community. We have a Pre-school for children of single moms and families living under the bread line, distribution of clothing, furniture, toys, etc. This reaches out to the poor people in Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Rural Areas as well as helping needy families in the community with clothing and food where we can. Our doors are always open for people that need our help / advice.
