William Wilberforce wrote in his diary in 1787 that his great purpose in life was to suppress the slave trade before waging a 20 year fight on the industry. But Wilberforce’s fight to free slaves is far from over.
Today, an estimated 27-36 million people live in slavery, more than any other time in history. 80% being trafficked are females; half of these are children.
Our leaders at the SA Foundation and at each SA National and/or International project share a common life purpose: to eradicate modern day slavery. Each day, they wage a fight on the sex trade industry, rescuing women and girls from sexual slavery and offering long-term recovery for those affected by human trafficking.
Mother’s day is May 8th, but a mother remains just that all year round; her work is never done.
Over 70% of the women we serve are mothers.
When our young women join our recovery programs, they are often pregnant with nowhere to go. Leaving behind a life of exploitation and addiction, they know there must be something more for their children but are not sure how to obtain it.
We believe there is no greater bond than the one between mother and child and our goal is to keep families together. We do this primarily by opening safe living spaces for mothers and children in our projects – not only in Canada, but around the world where mom and child can heal together.
As our young moms transition to a life of freedom and hope, they are offered on-site childcare while attending recovery day programs, parenting classes, and gain access to community services to complement their recovery.
By partnering with the SA Foundation, your support provides our young moms & their children the freedom and opportunities that many of us have.
It is our heart’s desire that each of our moms will be able to share freely how they express their love and care for their child with our supporters. One of our moms is inviting you to enter into her joy as she shares her poem:
We have always known that in providing freedom and opportunity we not only bless our moms but also the generations after them. Will you continue to join us in this rewarding work?
Here’s How You Can Help
We are officially launching our #BlessAMom Campaign to raise $100,000.00 by the end of May 2016 so that we can continue to provide for all moms and children involved in our many SA Housing programs in the coming year. Bless a mom through a one-time donation or consider becoming a monthly donor.
