Restoration Housing Project Update
Dear Supporter,
Thank you for supporting our bid to start a Housing Project for victims/survivors of trafficking through Globalgiving. We appreciate you trust in us and the decision to partner with us as we continue to wade through the challenges with bringing survivors of sex trafficking to an unimpaired state. Here’s an update of our current position regarding this housing project.
To date we have received $1,825.00; thank you for your contributions. Because of the challenges in raising funds for this project, our Board of Directors decided we should start with a non-residential Resource Center and gradually upgrade to a residential program. So we would be using the funds raised for this Project for that purpose. The new project would be administering the same services as this project, only difference is that the new one would be non-residential and would offer more services that this one. Also, we are developing strong collaborative partnerships that would make the new project very effective. Our ultimate goal is to restore and rehabilitate victims and survivors of trafficking.
To achieve the above goal, Restoration Project International will be offering life skill development for victims and survivors; and referral services that targets the needs of our clients. As a result, we would like to enjoin our supporters and donors to please continue to support our good cause. We are working to change the trajectory of jail and also bring survivors to an unimpaired state. We cannot do this work without your generous support.
We truly appreciate your partnership in ensuring that we carry out our mission. As we transition from this Project to this new Resource Center, we would keep you informed of our progress as we go. Please remember us in your end of year giving. Look out for the new project and support us.
It is troubling to see victims and survivors return back to their trafficker because they do not have a safe place to hide, nor a program that would provide life skills empowerment for them to move to the next stage in their healing process. We want to be that resource center. Perhaps, we would be able to keep them from returning to their trafficker when we give them tools for restoration. Therefore, we are counting on you to erase this agony of pain and enduring the vicious cycle of returning to their trafficker!
We are also counting on you to spread the word among your friends and family; share our Project information with your social media contacts. Your support will help victims escape trafficking and help survivors rehabilitate and live a normal life. Please help give hope and light the darkness that these girls face!
Please invite your family, friends and colleagues to support our Restoration Housing Project. Share our page at: https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/restoration-house-project
