what we do
Outreach
Once the girls and women have escaped from human trafficking and knowing their needs we are able to:
-
provide a variety of provisions including support to help them disassociate from the trap they have fallen into.
Public Awareness
Even though human trafficking is a sad reality we are still able to:
-
raise awareness in local churches, schools or any other circle of influence.
-
educate, train, host seminars and conferences.
Contact us if you would like to request a speaker.
Empowering
Beacon Bags provides wholesome support and strategies developed to empower each person toward:
-
restoration
-
self-sufficiency
-
fulfilled independence.
​
Our goal is to ensure that with these resources and support structures, surviving victims of trafficking will never have to:
-
return to sex trafficking
-
return to their trafficker due to the lack of empowering options.
​
Mentoring
As a reader, perhaps this reality could be at the opposite end of the spectrum to your own reality.
​
When girls and women have been treated as a commodity or traded as goods, it takes a reliable, loving and caring presence.
​
A well-functioning mentoring program instills self-esteem and coping skills. We strive to reflect Love to those precious defenseless survivors.
Education/Training
Beacon Bags is dedicated to provide:
-
trauma-informed culturally sensitive volunteers
-
prevention strategies
-
education.
​Education and training are essential keys to preventing and identifying human trafficking.
​
why we do it
It is of utmost importance that we protect future victims from falling into the trap of human trafficking.
No children are exempt from being wooed by a predator. They are innocent and many are looking for acceptance and love.
This is the reason why Beacon Bags was founded. There is a need to:
-
reach out to survivors of human trafficking in our region
-
educate people of this reality
-
detect and protect the vulnerable
​
We are striving toward the day when we can provide the safety of our own emergency shelter to these victims-survivors.
​
The desire of our hearts is to watch them blossom!
