The story that began the “Naomicreateslife” vision
What do you do when you are called by a pregnant woman
that you should come and have sex with her and give her money in exchange for
that act? This was what I was faced with back in 2012 as I was on evangelism in
one of the suburbs part of Ijora, Lagos State of Nigeria.
My immediate response was to jump into action - to do
something, do anything! But what? Ministering of Christ Jesus unto that same
woman (whom was a Harlot)…………………………………..
I later got some other brethren involved along into this
great project.
“There are complex issues that contribute to a girl being
vulnerable to prostituting - factors such as poverty, abuse, trickery and
deception, unemployment and addiction often leading to desperation in the
family." While a child's tragic journey into prostitution is sometimes due
to a family's financial struggle, many families are lured or tricked into
thinking their children are being offered a legitimate job or an opportunity
for education. "But once trapped in this world of unspeakable evil, they
are held captive against their will, and threatened with violence, are soon
imprisoned in a world of unimaginable pain and degradation ... I say repeatedly but It's NOT
OK!"
“A woman with an education may
be able to spend more time sitting in a chair instead of lying on her back. A
sound advantage, I should think.” ― Anne Bishop,

HOW DO I HELP
"Safety and security don't just happen, they are the result of collective consensus and public investment. We owe our children, the most vulnerable citizens in our society, a life free of violence and fear." – Late Nelson Mandela
#Education
Our goal is that every lady would be educated, through reading and writing and being able to communicate effectively through English competently. For many of older girls, we will consider it important, for them to enter into vocational training, to continue their education in being able to read and write.

Services
Each girl within this Rescue Home will have a regular contact with a counselor and social worker. These will form an essential relationship in their healing and restoration journey. All girls in this home will receive a minimum of weekly counseling when they first arrive, and this may be reduced to three-weekly during their time in our care. Counseling services continue even once a girl is safely reintegrated back to her family.
Our counselors will provide specific trauma therapy for every girl, along with being a person who the girl can share about their day, their relationships, their family, and their fears.
#Medical
All girls in this Home will receive regular medical care, including vaccinations, dental, optical, and any other necessary care.
