Jenny-Lynn Malcolm

Personal Profile

Under her leadership, JM continues its impact in the community through the Walmer Pre-primary School, which accommodates forty-two children. The young ones, aged between three and eight, are taught basic literacy and number skills, but also taught from the Bible, and they learn how to pray and trust their circumstances and lives to God.

In addition to the school, JM runs the Isibindi Project, which is effectively an orphanage without walls. One hundred and twenty-one orphans are cared for by thirty-three care workers who ensure that the children, who are accommodated in the homes of local families, are clothed, fed, and that they attend school.

With Jenny-Lynn at the helm, Jerusalem Ministries is poised to build upon its legacy of restoration and community development, bringing the Gospel of Hope to many who have given up hope, and continuing to transform lives in Port Elizabeth and beyond.

Project Profile

Restoration operates out of a large double storied building, known as White Lodge, near the city centre. Twenty three adult men are accommodated.

The men are mentored and their progress monitored as they are rehabilitated. When the authorities are satisfied that they are ready, the men are found work. They continue to live at White Lodge until they are strong and stable. Part of their earnings contribute to the cost of running the Lodge. A sense of belonging and family develops.

The rehabilitation success rate is sustained at ninety four percent.

The primary school at the Human Dignity Centre serves one hundred and five children in age from three to ten years. Classes are taught and the children are provided a wholesome meal each day. These children would have no other resource were it not for the Human Dignity Centre. All are from poor single parent families.

Skills training for unemployed women takes place at the HDC for individuals who cannot find work due to lack of skill. Items produced by the women are sold for the benefit of the individual.

An after school Safe Play and Homework open area is monitored in Walmer township providing security for young single parent children. This is known as Isibindi.
