Restoration Project Resource Center

September 20, 2018

Dear Partner,

Thank you for supporting the good work of Restoration Project Resource center. You help us provide survivors of trafficking tools for restoration to normal life. As you continue to support us, we are reaching more women and are moving closer to our target. We have reached 7 ladies through our programs. Although this is far from our goal, but anticipate that as we continue to provide services to survivors, we would someday reach our goal.

We have shared many times the negative impacts of trafficking: trauma of its victims/survivors, and their bleak future, with little or no hope for tomorrow. The lies of the trafficker to the victims/survivors that they have no other choice continue to incapacitate them and limit their desire/zeal for redemption. It is therefore essential that organizations like ours must continue to change this perception and lies, and in the same vein change misconception of society about trafficked adult girls. Our Educational and Empowerment Programs target these needs.

We would continue to strive to better serve these young women as we present a full spectrum of an array of services with ultimate goal of skills acquisition for sustainable restoration. We are defined by our belief in restoration of dignity and voices of survivors.

When we began our Microsoft and Financial Management Classes, we aimed at empowering women. We are glad to share that most of the women in these classes are exhuming old skills needed to overcome challenges of their traumatic experience. They are gaining more confidence in exhibiting skills for taking leadership roles in the fight against trafficking. Besides, these classes are meant to guarantee a stable income for survivors, and empower them to shun traffickers. At the end, this Project will set survivors up for success.

With your help, we have raised $900. This $350 more than the last time we reported our progress. We are making progress; THANK YOU!

Please help us to raise $43,000 so we can continue to provide these classes and other services uninterrupted. Lack of funds can send survivors back to their former state; we don’t want that to happen. All the money raised for this Project will provide a full array of services in one location. We don’t want survivors to harbor fear and mistrust for society and systems’ ability to bring them to an unimpaired state.

Our goal is to bring these women to an unimpaired state so they can assume leadership roles in the fight against human trafficking; thus protect at-risk girls. Your financial support counts.
