Our goal is to rehabilitate Victims of domestic violence and spread awareness to create sustainable change surrounding this epidemic in communities around the globe. Unsilenced Voices was specifically formed to open up the conversation about Domestic Violence. Through speaking nationally and internationally about domestic abuse and sexual defilement, we hope to inspire survivors to speak on their own accounts. We are building shelters in Ghana and Sierra Leone, where we hope to give strength to the numerous women and children fleeing domestic violence in those countries. We are working in both countries with our partners on sensitization programs, comprehensive trainings and counseling for community members and victims of domestic violence.

To model to our rescued girls in Peru what a happy and healthy family is like. To provide for them love - in addition to the emotional, psychological, and physical security that they did not have before arriving to us. To provide for them a good education so that they can become agents of change for their society, culture, and world. Most importantly: We serve to be an expression of God’s heart towards the children He gives us. His heart is expressed very well in Psalm 68, verses 5 and 6 – “A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in His holy dwelling. God sets the lonely in families…” We consider it a privilege to be used of Him to provide a family for the children and youth that He has placed into our hands.
