Almost all exploited girls lack the capacity to change their circumstances, yet they’re desperate for the opportunity to have a greater dignity and purpose restored in their lives. Our rehabilitation residence, Total Impact House, is the perfect example of what can happen when vulnerable girls are given that opportunity. This program provides comprehensive and ongoing support to meet the complex needs of our beneficiaries. It includes: a nurturing, family-like environment, individual and group counseling, Bible study and prayer, creative therapy such as dance and drama and writing, and formal education and/or vocational training. Purse of Hope is committed to helping girls and women rebuild destroyed lives. Our goal is to equip them with the life skills necessary for self-sustainability while helping to heal the lingering wounds of abuse, poverty, and exploitation.

In addition to the Total Impact House, we are working with a group of women and girls in the slums of Kampala, the capital of Uganda. Girls that once had no hope for a life outside of prostitution are now attending school and even starting their own micro-businesses within their communities. All of our programs address the challenges victims face after, in many cases, sexual exploitation and abuse that began at a very young age. Such challenges take a serious commitment and concerted action to overcome.

Thanks to our dedicated partners helping ensure well funded programs over a sustained period of time, we are able to provide the opportunity and encouragement for girls to meet those challenges and grow to be the over-comers they deserve to be.
