About CNSGH
A God-given vision. A mission of love.
Founded in 2021 by Yolanda Strange, Clothed In Strength Girls Haven is a faith-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit in Houston, Texas.
Our name
What does it mean to be Clothed in Strength?
"Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come."
To be Clothed in Strength means to be covered in the strength of God. It is trusting Him to give us the faith, wisdom, courage, and strength we need to face whatever life brings our way.
Every day, God equips us through His Word, His wisdom, and His presence. When life gets difficult, we can lean on Him, knowing we do not have to face our challenges alone. Our strength is not simply what we find within ourselves. It is also what God provides when we depend on Him.
This is the heart behind Clothed In Strength Girls Haven.
We believe every girl deserves to know that no matter what she has experienced, what challenges she faces, or what others may say about her, she is never defined by her circumstances. Her story is still being written, her future still holds promise, and she can learn to lean on God for the strength to face each new day.
Our mission is to nurture girls in their faith, help them discover their God given worth, and equip them with the spiritual foundation, life skills, and confidence to navigate life's challenges. We want them to understand that being strong does not mean having all the answers or never struggling. It means knowing Whom to turn to when life feels uncertain.
And while our work centers on girls, the meaning of Clothed in Strength reaches beyond age or circumstance. It is a reminder for every woman that we can depend on God through every season of life.
We are clothed in His strength, guided by His Word, and equipped to walk forward in faith.

Help us clothe the next generation in strength
Every girl deserves the opportunity to grow in faith, discover her worth, and build a future filled with hope. But this work takes a community of people willing to show up, give, serve, and believe in what is possible for her life.
You can be part of that community. Your generosity can help provide faith based programming, life skills development, mentorship, essential supplies, meaningful celebrations, and the foundation for our vision of a safe, nurturing residential haven for girls in foster care.
Whether you give financially, volunteer your time, donate supplies, or partner with us through your church or business, you can help a girl discover the strength God has placed within her and learn to depend on the strength He provides.
Join us in making sure more girls feel seen, supported, and equipped to face the future with faith.
Together, we can help the next generation stand strong in who God created them to be.
SEEN. SAFE. STRONG.
Our mission
Empowering girls to discover their God-given worth, strength, and purpose.
Clothed In Strength Girls Haven is a faith-based nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering, nurturing, and restoring vulnerable and underserved girls, particularly those impacted by foster care, through the unconditional love of Christ, spiritual enrichment, education, life-skills development, mentorship, and supportive community relationships.
Our mission is to provide meaningful experiences and opportunities that strengthen character, encourage emotional wellness, develop healthy relationships, and equip girls with the tools necessary to overcome adversity and thrive.
We are committed to helping every girl discover her identity, recognize her worth, find her voice, and understand that her circumstances do not determine her future.
We do more than serve girls. We nurture their hearts, strengthen their minds, encourage their faith, and invest in the young women they are emerging to become.
Our vision
Every Girl Seen. Every Girl Safe. Every Girl Strong.
Our vision is to create a future where every vulnerable and underserved girl, especially those impacted by foster care, has the opportunity to grow in a safe, nurturing, faith-centered environment where she is loved unconditionally, valued beyond her circumstances, and empowered to reach her God-given potential.
We envision a world where no girl is defined by her past, her pain, or the challenges she has faced, but instead is equipped with the confidence, resilience, character, and life skills necessary to build a purposeful and successful future.
Through our vision of establishing a residential haven and expanding our community programs, we strive to create lasting opportunities for healing, restoration, personal growth, and hope.
Our long-term goal is a licensed General Residential Operation (GRO). This is a future goal; CNSGH does not currently operate a licensed residential facility.
