Join Yolanda and Sylvie as they share their heart for the family at the Iris Footprints Center in South Africa. See how God is impacting the lives of these children by giving them an education, food, a home, and most importantly a loving family. P.L.A.Y is an acronym for, Participating in the Lives of Africa’s Youth.
Iris Footprints is home to thirty-three amazing children!
They place a high value on family and focus on each child’s uniqueness and bright future ahead. Iris Footprints was born from the personal vision, passion, and mentorship heart of Yolanda Zafi to meet the needs of children in various circumstances. Yolanda and her two daughters, Sylvia and Kerry-Lee, have dedicated their lives to Footprints and ensure the atmosphere within their home is one of family and healthy identity which is lived out daily. They are assisted by a dedicated team who voluntarily participate in this large joy-filled, rainbow family.
"Footprints is not seen as an organization. We see it as a family that gives children the opportunity to learn how to make choices. We raise them in a way in that they know they have a voice, identity, and dignity. They are raised in a caring and loving home that truly gives them every opportunity to be conquerors, to be victorious, and to be young, functional adults as they grow up."
- Yolanda, Base Director of Iris Footprints
