James Orleans-Lindsay
James Orleans-Lindsay is the founder of TendaiCare Foundation, a man whose life reflects a unique blend of professional training and spiritual devotion. With a degree in Psychology and certification as a counsellor, James possesses the tools to understand deep human need—but it is his compassionate heart that moves him to act. His passion for caring for children, especially the most vulnerable, forms the bedrock upon which TendaiCare was built.
James believes that healing begins with presence. Whether sitting with a grieving child or equipping a rural mother with new skills, he approaches every interaction with empathy, patience, and hope.
When not engaged in foundation work, James nourishes his own spirit through reading, listening to music, travelling, and staying active with aerobics. Above all, he cherishes the opportunity to evangelise the Word of God, seeing his faith as the compass for every endeavour.
Founder's Welcome
I am often asked what inspired me to start TendaiCare Foundation. The honest answer is not a single moment, but a lifetime of knowing that every person—especially every child—deserves to be loved without condition.
As a trained counsellor with a qualification in Psychology, I have learned how deeply early experiences shape a life. But it is not my training alone that guides this work; it is a compassionate heart, given to me by God, that refuses to look away from suffering.
I founded TendaiCare to be a bridge—between rural communities and opportunity, between vulnerable children and hope, between despair and dignity.
In my rare quiet moments, you will either find me with a book, planning my next journey, staying active through aerobics, and winding down with some good music or doing what I love most: reading and sharing the Word of God. It is my faith that sustains me, and it is my hope that through this foundation, you will see that faith made visible.
Thank you for standing with us.
