"SHIFRA",
meaning beautiful, was the name of a midwife (Exodus
1:15) who protected and nurtured life.
At Shifra Home we have the same goal in mind!
Shifra Home, located in
Burlington, is a Christ-Centered maternity residence
for young, pregnant women and teens. Our home
provides accommodation, pregnancy counselling and
other support services to young women during their
pregnancy, childbirth and for a period after the
birth of their baby. Our home is open to all.

with an opportunity to improve their lives. We help
them, their babies and family members lead a happy
successful life.
