Our Program
The Women With Purpose staff believes in a holistic approach to healing and growth.
While the women are in our care, we make sure that each one receives adequate mental, emotional, and physical treatment based on their individual needs.
As the women in our program seek emotional and physical healing, we encourage personal growth through the pursuit of education.
We connect participants with local skills and vocational trainers.
We facilitate childcare for participants that have children so that they have adequate space to learn and work.
Upon completion of our program, the sisterhood of Women with Purpose will remain. In 18 to 24 months our women will graduate with the skills to lead an independent life.

Security
Our desire is to keep the participants of Women With Purpose safe, both physically and emotionally. We provide a secure living location and physical support for each of our women so that they may safely seek healing and growth.
In the future our goal is to have round the clock security and a safe-house for emergencies as an added measure of protection for our women.
Counseling
The women in our program have access to counseling with a licensed professional. Every woman’s situation is assessed and a healing program is developed to suit each individual.
In the future our goal is to have a full time counseling staff.
Relationships
We believe in the power that relationships has in the process of healing and growth. Fellow participants in Women With Purpose and an experienced staff provide emotional support as the women seek healing and growth.
The friendships that the women acquire as well as the community contacts they make throughout their time at Women With Purpose strengthen their lives.
Education and skills training
We give our women the opportunity most of them have missed; the chance to study. Classes will range from basic elementary skills to college classes. If they already have a job they will continue at it. If not, we will place them in a job.
We teach the skills needed to run a household including cooking, driving, mechanics, and home repair. While at the home the women learn about savings and save 75% of their salaries. After graduating the money they save can go towards the purchase of land to build a home.
