HOUSE OF SHALOM
In 2017 we purchased an unfinished house with the vision of developing a ‘House of Shalom’ – a safe, life-transforming house for survivors of human trafficking and sexual exploitation.
THE PROPERTY
The main house, a brick building is on two levels. It has eight bedrooms, two kitchens, two bathrooms and two additional toilets. There is also a separate two- bedroom house on the ground floor, which is attached to the main building but with a separate entrance. It has two small rooms, a kitchen and a bathroom.
The house is nearing completion and we hope to open July 2025
OPERATION OF THE HOUSE OF SHALOM AS A SHELTER
It is understood there is currently just one other safe house in the country we are working in, which is registered as a public organization, but due to strict governmental surveillance its capacity and functionality is limited.
House of Shalom will be functioning as a privately-owned family foster home. We will appoint a designated person or a family to manage the house and look after the women and children that will reside in it. This will enable us to serve the community without violating any legal requirements.
Additional support, resources, training, staff and volunteers will be provided as they become available.
