Streetlight’s three-tier strategy of awareness, prevention and aftercare presents a hopeful solution to prevent further risk of exploitation, provide safe housing, and promote healing.
In November of 2009, Streetlight began the purchase of a facility which at any given time, can house between 24-48 underage, female victims of child sex slavery. The property is strategically located on five acres and includes one large administrative building, one large enrichment center, a commercial kitchen, medical examining room, classrooms and six residential houses arranged in a peaceful neighborhood setting on an enclosed, gated campus.
The StreetLight safe house stands as a beacon of hope where rescued victims of child sex slavery can live for an extended period of time and will receive specialized faith-based counseling, normal interaction with a mentor mother in a family setting, professional healthcare, food, clothing, educational and career bases counseling, and the healing they need to rebuild their future
StreetLight is facilitating, leading, and organizing a unique model for eradicating child sex slavery that is sustainable and transferrable to other cities, and we hope you’ll join us!
