We believe impact is not measured by the number of women served, but by the healing women are able to access through our service.
"Today, I want you to know that because of Amirah, I have the chance to live a life people dream about."
Survivor, Residential Program Participant
Our Impact
Recovery is a long and difficult process that no one should have to do alone. Survivors of sex trafficking face many challenges, like personal struggles with PTSD, depression, anxiety, and mental well-being. The physical abuse from trafficking leaves a toll on the body, and social situations always feel awkward in the “square” world. Making a full comeback from trafficking takes years of work and a host of resources. Our desire is that each survivor have the resources and opportunities to achieve her personal goals – goals like being a mom again, having her own apartment, and a well paying job.
We believe it is possible, and we have seen it happen over and over again. Having a team behind a survivor is transformational – we are that team.

"The model that Amirah follows, of showing unconditional love, means that if someone truly wants to learn to love themselves it will happen. I have a lot of work to do in that area, I still have many insecurities and I doubt myself often, but I have begun the work. Amirah shows patience and care in a way that no other place I've experienced has. I felt respected as soon as I arrived. This environment has made all the difference in showing me that I always deserve to be treated this way by myself and others."
