TALITHA CUMI PLACE OF SAFETY
Since 2008, Talitha Cumi has been a place of refuge and restoration for vulnerable children. We began with a single home caring for 26 children aged 2–10, later expanding to include a Baby House for infants up to 2 years old. Today, we care for 41 children across both homes, offering love, stability, and hope until they are placed with safe, loving families.
Our vision has grown into the Talitha Cumi Village—a purpose-built space where orphaned and abandoned children from newborn to 18 can grow up in a nurturing, Christ-centered environment. With five houses built and one already furnished, we continue to trust for the resources to complete and register the remaining homes. Here, children will be cared for until they are ready to step confidently into adulthood.
ABOUT MA BOSHOFF
THE FOUNDER OF TALITHA CUMI
Driven by deep compassion and a fierce love for the vulnerable, Ma Boshoff—under the visionary leadership of Ps At—was moved to action after witnessing the heartbreaking realities many children face each day. Refusing to look away, she gave life to the vision of Talitha Cumi, a place where children could find safety, love, and hope again. Partnering with Child Welfare to handle legal aspects, Ma Boshoff focused on creating homes where broken hearts could begin to heal. Ma Boshoff’s legacy is one of fierce faith, relentless kindness, and a heart that will always fight for every child to know they are chosen, cherished, and called by name.

Meet the Children of Talitha Cumi
At Talitha Cumi, we are honored to walk alongside children who have experienced unimaginable challenges. Each child who enters our care carries a unique story of struggle, resilience, and hope. While we celebrate their journeys, we take the utmost care in protecting their privacy and well-being. For the safety and security of all the children in our care, their names have been changed.
