Nine SutiSana artisans have boldly chosen to leave prostitution to seek a new life. For many, this is the first time in their lives to receive a consistent and dignified salary, health benefits and retirement. This year, they’ve worked hard to improve in quality, production, sales and personal growth. You can encourage their commitment, ensure continued employment and empower them to succeed.

Every year a joyful group of carolers brazenly invades the red-light district with Christ’s Truth and Love at Christmas. Through songs and hugs, hot chocolate and simple gifts we gently remind women that they are not forgotten this season. Read more about this powerful outreach here.

This Fall 35 children completed the after-school program and passed on to their next grade level! We want to celebrate their hard work and help prepare them for an even more successful upcoming school year.
