A difficult past does not have to define a future.

The Isaiah 61 Foundation is a Christian faith-based non-profit committed to restoring hope, dignity and opportunity to vulnerable children, young people and families.

Our work is both direct and collaborative. We support individuals where appropriate, while also working through partner child-care homes, rehabilitation centres, churches and community organisations that are already providing care.

Beyond meeting immediate needs, we are committed to helping people rebuild their lives over time. Through education, counselling, rehabilitation, mentorship, welfare support and pathways to greater independence, we seek to create the stability and support people need to recover, grow and move towards lives of purpose and self-reliance.

Hope. Healing.

Purpose.

We seek to demonstrate Christian faith through compassion, service, integrity, hope and respect for the dignity of every person.

"The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor... to comfort all who mourn."

Isaiah 61:1–2

Restoration is a journey.

Our programmes are built around recovery, stability and opportunity.

  1. 01

    Start with the person

    We respond to each person’s circumstances, needs and potential rather than reducing them to the difficulty they have experienced.

  2. 02

    Support the whole journey

    Safety matters, but so do counselling, education, health, relationships, livelihood and reintegration.

  3. 03

    Work with others

    We collaborate with homes, rehabilitation centres, churches, professionals and community organisations rather than duplicate what already exists.

  4. 04

    Aim for lasting change

    Where possible, we help beneficiaries move towards stability, education, employability, independent living and stronger family life.

We see a person before we see a problem.

Someone with strengths, hopes, abilities and the capacity to rebuild.

    Children and young people affected by physical, emotional or psychological abuse.
