Restavek Rescue
In the Phase II development of Grace Village, we will break ground on a safe house for child slaves. We desire to give each of these children a new beginning. By showing them God's love, we pray they will begin to understand they are a divine creation with a great purpose.
We hope to reunite these former child slaves with their biological families after a time of rest and rehabilitation. If we are not able to do this, we will help transition them into our regular orphan program at Grace Village.
