ABOUT US

Who We Are

Guided by our Christian values, we care for abandoned babies and vulnerable children in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe.

Children rescued from abuse, poverty, and life-threatening situations are welcomed with love, given safety and dignity, and nurtured toward a brighter future.

We work to reunite families where possible, or place each child into a loving, permanent home.

LOVE IN ACTION

Our Mission

To love and serve those in greatest need by providing a safe, sustainable path for vulnerable children to grow into lives of significance and influence.

We exist as both a safe stepping stone and a powerful launchpad, equipping children not just to recover, but to lead, thrive, and shape the future of Zimbabwe.

Through integrated care, education, and long-term support, we are transforming lives from rescue to leadership - and strengthening a nation from the ground up.

Our Key Programs

WHAT WE DO

  • Isaiah's Homes of Love

    Established to assist abandoned babies, orphans, and children in desperate need. Our halfway home lovingly cares for these young ones while we aim to find them families for life. We have also operated Community Family Homes for groups of children in need and are in the processof starting additional ones. Since 2007, we’ve cared for over 170 babies, with many being fostered, adopted, reunited with extended families, or placed in family units.

  • Children of Grace

    Located on the Lighthouse Christian Academy property, this initiative involves community vegetable farming. The project’s goal is to generate profits to support the running costs of Our Neighbours Ministry. We provide milling services for mealies and water to the local community. We offer agricultural training for our children’s parents at LCA and invite them to grow their own food on our 7-acre property.

  • Lighthouse Christian Academy

    Lighthouse Christian Academy is a holistic education program for children who have missed significant schooling to help these children break the cycle of poverty and become influential members of society. We offer quality education using a home-based, local curriculum, along with life skills, vocational skills, counselling, and mentorship. After they gain a foundation in their education, we support them as they reintegrate into government schools, colleges or vocational training institutions.

Shaping a Bigger Story

We believe in a future where our students are known for their integrity, discipline, and leadership — sought after by schools and influencing communities, industries, and the nation.

This is what your support makes possible - not just meeting today’s needs, but building a future that reaches far beyond them.

SUCCESS STORY

Blessing’s Journey

Blessing was adopted at 3 years old into a loving, Christian family from the Isaiah's Homes of Love. His family has kept in touch with us over the years, and his mom remains a core member of our support group.

Blessing is a bright, jovial teenage boy who loves hanging out with his youth group at church. He is also the treasurer of his youth group. He has dreams of being a pastor who can also fix electrical gadgets. Recently, Blessing was given an opportunity to share at his church.

“You are not funding an organisation. You are family to a child who has none.”
