Wings of Refuge is a long-term safe home that provides opportunities for healing and restoration to survivors of sex trafficking. Through education, we empower people to join us to end exploitation and make restoration possible. Through networking, we work with organizations that are on the front lines recovering survivors. Through the safe home, we provide 24/7 support and programming that addresses the whole person - heart, mind, body, and soul. Through the social enterprise and Transitional Living Center, we empower survivors to rise into an independent life filled with hope & possibilities. Exploitation ends and freedom begins when a woman comes to live at Wings of Refuge.
So exploitation ends for one more girl.
That every survivor will know she is valued, has hope, and is loved by Jesus.
