The problem

SEX TRAFFICKING

Forcing, deceiving, or coercing someone into a commercial sex act.

LABOR TRAFFICKING

Forcing, deceiving, or coercing someone into work for little or no pay.

CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE

Any use of a child—contact or non-contact— for sexual stimulation.

12 million children is hard to imagine. What if a child in your family or community was trafficked and abused? How would you want her to be cared for and supported?

At Rapha, we are committed to providing the highest quality services for survivors and vulnerable children. In pursuit of excellence, the Rapha team takes to heart Maya Angelou’s famous advice: We do the best we can. Then, when we know better, we do better.

Rapha is committed to combating injustice and serving children through holistic care for survivors and prevention for the vulnerable. It is with compassion energized and sustained by love that Rapha is committed to combating child trafficking and sexual abuse. Though we are faithbased, we offer services without requiring those that we help to embrace our faith. Our teams are committed to modeling the love of Christ and providing survivors with the opportunity to find healing and freedom in Him. We are honored to be a part of each survivor’s journey and to witness the healing and hope that the Lord provides in their lives.

Rapha’s solution

SURVIVOR CARE

Rapha provides residential and non-residential care for children who have already been impacted by trafficking and abuse. Survivor Care programming at Rapha is built on four Keys to Freedom: Safety, Healing, Education, and Social Work. Rapha’s Survivor Care programs give child survivors the opportunity to reclaim their lost childhoods. In pursuit of sustainable freedom, Rapha continues to support residential clients as they reintegrate into their families and communities.

PREVENTION

Rapha provides services in vulnerable communities that promote stability and access to resources, which help prevent abuse, trafficking, and the trauma of family separation. Rapha’s Prevention program is based on three Keys to Protection: Community Workers, Family Resources, and Education Support. When communities come together to prevent and combat the sexual exploitation of children, real change–sustainable change–takes place.
