Spread the GREAT NEWS.

A great song to remind us what Christmas is really about.

LifeWay Network is one of only two organizations in the New York Metropolitan area providing safe housing for women survivors of human trafficking. Since 2012, ...they have provided a safe place to over 100 women from 34 countries. These houses provide homes where survivors live in community and are provided with the resources they need to rebuild their lives - from the help of social workers, to mental health counselling, to legal support, to connections with educational and job training opportunities. After they leave the safe house, they can transition into an independent living arrangement within the community. Michele Harnett SSL volunteers at the LifeWay Network. However, since the Covid-19 pandemic, the ability to volunteer in person has been severely curtailed. She has however, been working with a survivor of human trafficking by helping her improve her English conversational skills in weekly one-hour Zoom sessions. This is part of the program called Empowerment Square, which was founded by one of the women at LifeWay Network who spent a year in the safe house. She and a team of other young women, have created a very comprehensive program to empower the 25 women being mentored, and to give them the skills and confidence necessary to procure jobs and reach the goals they have set for themselves.
