Safe housing
A protected home where women and children are safe, day and night, free from fear.
A safe place, held out in His love
For women and children fleeing abuse, our shelters offer protection, provision, and a path toward a hopeful future.
About our shelter ministry
Where women and children find safety
Our Shelter Ministry began in 2008, after our founder came out of an abusive marriage. She grew up in a good home and had no idea how widespread domestic violence and abuse were in her country — and how little help existed for the women living through it.
As she met with other women who had escaped similar situations, she learned how common their suffering was, and how often it ended in serious injury — sometimes worse. Women in these situations usually have very limited income or support, and the government has almost no resources to help them. So we decided to help.
In 2010 we registered the ministry as a public fund and rented a dwelling to serve as a safe house in the big city, where the need was greatest. And so our Shelter Ministry began. In 2015 we were able to move into our own shelter house outside the city — a true home where women and their children could begin to heal.
The women who come to us need more than a roof. They need a peaceful place of safety and understanding, and loving care, as they discover how to make the right choices for their future and the future of their children.
In our shelters
We take full responsibility for their care
Food & clothing
Daily needs provided with dignity — so families can focus on healing, not survival.
Counseling & spiritual care
Crisis counseling and sisterly support, and the comfort of a loving Savior, for women and children alike.
Our care is always for the children too. Mothers often arrive with their little ones — sometimes as many as seven children — and every one is greeted with outstretched hands, and the love and hugs they so rightly deserve.
Good newsA second shelter is opening in a smaller city.
What’s next
Opening our second shelter
We have more good news to share — we are opening a second shelter in a smaller city. In this new location we look forward, with joy, to serving and supporting even more women and children in need.
Our larger hope is to help open a bigger shelter in the big city, where only a few small, under-resourced shelters exist today — far too few to meet the need. We want to be there for those left out in harsh conditions, unable to provide for themselves or their children, and to help them step into a future of hope and goodness.
“We believe that caring help truly makes a difference in many of the lives that it touches.”
The need related to domestic abuse is ongoing — and so is our commitment to helping all those we can. With your help and partnership, we pray you will take part in our changing-destiny work.
