“We Stand in the Gap”
… for girls who have aged out of care. The time that girls spend at O Grace Land is just that: a time of grace. The transition that O Grace Land offers is one that helps girls develop job and life skills, self esteem and an independent mind-set. Overall we help girls to become young women ready to step into adult life.
O Grace Land is built on the firm foundation of God’s love and faith in Christ.
Our call to establish O Grace Land is based on these biblical verses:
“Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them…he or she is like a person who builds a house upon a rock” – Luke 6:47
“Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” – Psalm 91

I feel passionate about O Grace Land because standing in the gap for these girls makes a difference. I'm excited to see us finish the good work children's homes have started.
I feel so strongly called to start O Grace Land, that there is a special need for a place like this. I'm excited to see O Grace Land stand in the gap for girls who have come so far, but aren't quite ready for adult life yet.PHILANI ZAMA Founder/Manager
