To provide support, safe spaces, and resources for women and girls impacted by domestic violence and sexual assault, helping them heal, rebuild, and become self-sufficient.

What it reported doing in 2025

During the year, the organization focused on laying the foundation to serve women and girls impacted by domestic violence and sexual assault.

The organization also provided direct support within the community, including hosting a Back-to-School event where over 200 backpacks and school supplies were distributed to families.
