Lynsi Love centre CBO

Organization Description: 

Lynsi Love Center Orphanage is a Community-Based Organization that came into existence 3 years ago. We were moved by the appalling condition that the orphans in the slums of Kayole, Soweto, and Patanisho live in.

I mobilized people with passion and we formed the organization with the following objectives:

* To provide education to orphaned children - Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary.
* To provide a home for the vulnerable orphans.
* To help economically empower widows living with H.I.V/ Aids to raise the standard of living through micro finance so that they can cater for the orphans
* To help educate the community on safe water, health and hygiene.
* To create H.I.V/ Aids awareness among the youth
* To buy land a build a school and a home for the orphaned.

We are currently have 10 volunteers working on the project.

We have 40 orphans now benefiting from our program. We plan to help 300 orphans when fully operational.

The biggest challenges we have is there is no permanent funding. We depend on few well wishers who gives donations or short term funding. We are also faced with ignorance from the community and we need more funds to educate the community.

If we get donations it will go on expanding educational facility to be able to accommodate more orphans who are on the waiting list. We will buy land and build a cente that will be a pilot center to help cater for the needs of the orphans.

Statement of Faith



Lynsi Love Centre CBO is founded on the Bible and its revelation of Jesus Christ. :

The Holy Scriptures of the Old and the New Testament (a total of 66 Books) are the Word of God. It is divinely inspired, infallible, inerrant, entirely trustworthy and serves as a supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct (2 Tim. 3:16-17).

God is One. The one God is eternally self-existent in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Deut. 6:4-5; Mt. 28:19)

Jesus Christ is Saviour and Lord. As God, He was manifest in the flesh. We believe in His virgin birth; His sinless life; His divine miracles; His vicarious and atoning death, His bodily resurrection; His ascension; His mediatorial work; and His future personal return in Power and Glory (Lk. 1:32-33; Jn. 1:1-4; 1 Tim. 2:5-6; 6:13-16).

Holy Spirit is God. As the third Person in the Godhead, He indwells every believer upon conversion and enables the believer to live a holy life; to witness in power; and to work for the Lord Jesus Christ (Act. 5:3-4; Mt. 28:19; Acts. 1:8).

Man was made in the image of God and sinless. By choice Man fell out of favour into sin. In God’s mercy, salvation comes to every lost and sinful person freely and simply by faith in Jesus Christ who shed His blood for sin, and through regeneration by the Holy Spirit (Gen. 1:26-28; 3:1-21; Jn.1:11-13, 1Cor. 12:13).

All believers in Jesus Christ are one body, the Church, of which He is the Head (1 Cor. 12:13; Eph. 2:14-22).

Satan is a fallen angel whose intent is to supplant God and frustrate His purpose, and whose ultimate end is consignment to eternal punishment (Lk. 10:17-18; Rev. 20:10).

Bodily Resurrection of all the dead will take place some day. Believers in Christ will rise unto everlasting blessedness while unbelievers will rise unto judgement and everlasting punishment (Rev. 20:11-15; 2 Cor. 5: 9-10).
