What We Do
and In&iration
Safe Passage takes a holistic approach to healing bodies, souls and minds. We empower women by repairing the damage done from abuse, so that the violent cycle can nally stop. The women are transformed emotionally and physically with help from our unique team of doctors, life coaches, and counselors.
SIX MONTHS: Thats how long it takes for women and children to transform their lives, gain independence, employment and housing. 95% SUCCESS RATE: We mentor each client through the transformational process to ensure a successful outcome. Extensive counseling and career training prepare her for stable employment and to maintain her own residence, fully furnished by generous donors. We are proud to report that 95% of the women who complete our program not only break the cycle of domestic violence but become role models for new clients, sharing their life stories and inspiring others. BEAUTY, CONFIDENCE, & SURGERY: Our team of specialists includes doctors, plastic surgeons, dentists, career counselors, life coaches, image makeover experts, interior decorators and more. We truly transform our patients from the inside out. We have provided tooth restoration, rhinoplasty, facial reconstruction and other cosmetic procedures. Each woman has her own specific needs and we are dedicated to doing everything we can to restore inner and outer beauty and self-esteem. 1500 WOMEN & THEIR CHILDREN: Thats how many lives weve transformed in the past 13 years. We dont take on the high number of clients that some other organizations take, because each person requires an intense collaborative six month effort. Our clients do not fall through the cracks.
