The safe house was established in 1996 with an initial intake of just three kids. Since then Bosko Safe House has helped and ministered to a number of children who were either abandoned, orphaned or abused. In 2006 a young American teenager from Shawnee, Oklahoma began giving all her pocket money to the house, praying for the children and sending them Christmas presents - hence the name-change to "Katelynn's House". In 2011 the title of the property was passed to the couple who had been involved with the house - on and off - almost since its inception. The spiritual responsibility of Katelynn's House though, remains with Bosko.
