Growth 2008 – 2021
In 2008 we partnered with a local Nepali family desiring to change lives among the undervalued and neglected of their society. Together we launched a new orphan home, a rehabilitation home for trafficking survivors, and a farmland enterprise to support these programs. While our farmland is currently up for sale as we look for land with better irrigation, it has provided several tons of produce for our programs along with profits to help fund our work. While the farmland is in transition, our current gardening project is producing a steady flow of fresh organic vegetables for our orphans and trafficking survivors.
Our “She Has Hope” trafficking rehabilitation home is providing trauma recovery for survivors of human trafficking. They are given secure housing, nutritious fresh-cooked meals, medical care, and courses designed to equip them with marketable skills or small business capabilities, along with practical knowledge such as modern gardening techniques, cooking classes, and literacy support. Some of the creations made in their craft making classes can be purchased to support their program at SheHasHope.org.
