International Rescue and Restoration

Shared Hope International has worked around the world since 1998 to rescue and restore victims of sexual slavery. Recognizing the intense trauma experienced by victims through the commercial sex industry, Shared Hope has formed lasting partnerships with local organizations in five countries to fund programs that offer holistic, long-term care to women and children. Each of these programs offers a survivor-informed model of care that focuses on counseling, empowerment and healing.

Villages of Hope

Shared Hope International’s restoration programs are developed and operated by local partners, addressing both immediate and long-term needs of each victim of trauma, exploitation or trafficking. Restoration services include a holistic approach with residential facilities, medical and mental health care, education, job training and economic development programs. Villages of Hope are safe communities that offer refuge and restoration to rescued victims of sexual slavery and their children. Shared Hope funds Villages or Homes of Hope in Fiji, Nepal, India, and Jamaica.

HIV Clinics

Shared Hope International partners with an organization in India to run both a stationary and mobile HIV/AIDS clinic in the heart of Mumbai’s red light district. Both clinics provide contact to hundreds of women and children in the infamous district every month, offering compassion, counseling and life-saving medications to those who need help or who wish to flee the sex industry. The stationary clinic provides a haven for those women infected with HIV to receive proper testing, medicine and nutrition. It is the only area clinic offering free assistance for treatment. The mobile clinic brings supplies and food into remote parts of the city, reaching those who may not be bold enough to visit the stationary clinic.

The WIN International Program

Woman Smiling

The Women’s Investment Network (WIN) program focuses on developing small businesses around the world that provide training and employment for the women in our Villages of Hope. Studies show that providing victims with the skills and means of creating their own economic sustainability helps remove the risk of re-victimization found in areas of extreme poverty and exploitation. Our residents receive leadership development and financial independence. Today, our successful WIN program is active in India, Jamaica, Fiji and Nepal. Training programs include cosmetology, jewelry-making, bakeries, print services, tailoring and leather-making.
