We’re excited to report that your contributions to SAFE helped us complete our Phase One strategy!
Phase One was all about providing a safe place for girls and women to escape sexual exploitation. REST did that through their Emergency Receiving Center (ERC) and because of you, SAFE helped get the ERC open and funded through their first year.
In that first year, REST sheltered 62 women, for a total of 2,260 nights, while they were getting out of dangerous situations. At the ERC, these women had time to think about and take steps toward a different future for themselves. They got safety, hope, separation from their abusers and traffickers, and opportunity for a better life.
That feels like victory to us,
and you made it happen! |
