Meet our Current Director

In 2017, Tiffany Jacobs graduated from Texas Bible Institute and returned home to Belize with a renewed passion and a vision to see the young people of her country walk in wholeness. Her heart for mentoring grew from five years of experience working at a Children’s Home in southern Belize. She later joined Yasha Home—first part-time, then stepping into the role of full-time house mother in 2020. In February 2025, she became Director, carrying a deep passion to see the girls grow in confidence, faith, and purpose as they step into their future.

As a proud Belizean, Tiffany envisions Yasha Home strengthened in every way. She works to build partnerships with organizations that expand Yasha’s reach while sharing its mission across Belize. Her desire is to see more young women discover hope and opportunities to grow spiritually, complete their education, gain job skills, receive counseling, and contribute meaningfully to society.

Our Story

Elizabeth Chinn first fell in love with Belize as a teenager while serving on several short-term mission trips. She later pursued her calling by studying at Christ For The Nations Institute, graduating in 2013 with a Bachelor’s degree in Children and Family Ministry.

In 2014, Elizabeth moved to Belmopan, Belize, to serve at a local church. During that time, she recognized the need for a transitional home—a safe place for young women in, or aging out of, government care to grow, develop, and be empowered to impact their communities. In November 2017, that vision became a reality when Yasha Home opened its doors to welcome its first residents.

What we are about

Yasha home provides young ladies the tools to grow, develop, and be empowered through:

  • The women learn spiritual disciplines and foundational truths through Bible study, attending a local church, individual and group counseling, and through relationships with mentors. Our approach is holistic focusing on three parts: mind, body, and soul.

  • In a family style setting, some of the many skills our young women learn are: conflict resolution, budgeting, time-management skills, health and nutrition, decision making, problem solving, etc.

  • In Belize, education is not free and this makes young women especially vulnerable and at higher risk for exploitation. We not only give opportunity for reach young woman to pursue education, we also provide avenues to learn a trade skill that will empower them to walk in their God given destinies.
