Christ-based compassion with survivor-centered care in the context of family

For international survivors who have been abandoned, we provide immediate sponsorship for their physical and mental well-being, including but not limited to, food, shelter, clothing, education, medical care and other services as needed.
Subsequently, we work to establish legal guardianship with our local court as soon as possible to provide family security and stability for every girl, and a life-long connection to the PHIGS sisterhood.
