is simple: “Compassion for the hurting, help the oppressed.”

We understand that almost all women who have been sexually exploited or trafficked have been hurt by that experience and need professional help overcoming those effects and moving forward in life. The women who come to Engedi are typically homeless, financially destitute, vulnerable to abuse, struggling with chemical addictions, and reeling from complex emotional trauma and social anxiety.  

We are committed to providing a physically and emotionally safe space for them to begin experiencing a sense of restoration in their soul, and a sense of personal confidence and strength to care for their own health and agency.

With this in mind, Engedi’s program is holistic and comprehensive in nature.  Physical needs are met at no cost to program participants, all therapy and educational classes are trauma informed, and survivor involved mentoring is a key component to the program.
