Overview

Mission

To provide independent living residential support and essential life-skills development for minor girls in crisis. The organization is committed to meeting the desperate needs of young girls who have been exploited by human trafficking by sharing god's love and placing hope in their lives. The organization also provides therapeutic care for minor girls who have been victimized.

What it reported doing in 2017

The organization provides the first safe house for victims of sex trafficking in our region. We are blessed to be able to care for up to five girls who have been rescued out of domestic minor sex trafficking. The organization provides 24-hour live-in care, so the girls will not feel isolated or left to face their struggles alone. The organization will also provide in-home educational and therapeutic services, incorporating healing and growth into a safe and healthy environment.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 68% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. The required major-donor schedule is missing or incomplete and expenses are high relative to revenue.
