Project Rescue has started its first official partnership in an African country through a local teacher who has been on a 20-year mission to restore women from exploitation since she found out one of her own students was being exploited. 

This partnership will help take women off of the streets and find them jobs, teach them English, and provide them the care they need. Project Rescue is raising funds to purchase a home for the women in West Africa where they can find safety and begin building a new future.

“SHe is my Daughter”

Hear from our partner as she shares the very heart behind this ministry and the great need that is growing within the city she lives in.

Meet our partner: BBC

“After meeting a student involved in prostitution, NGO Femmes de Salem was founded. In September 2002, our community experienced the greatest crisis in its history. The impoverishment of the population accelerated the prostitution phenomenon. Around 2005, 9 distraught girls of Nigerian origin contacted us, explaining that they were victims of sex trafficking and that one of their friends had just been murdered. From that moment on, we began our work of holistic accompaniment of these young girls.

But we had to stop because we were threatened with death by the pimps. We realized that we would need premises if we were to be efficient. In the meantime, we're turning our attention to less dangerous activities: women's empowerment, education, and child protection, raising young people's awareness of the evils of life... It was in this context that, in 2017, we had a wonderful encounter with a current partner of Project Rescue. She's the one who brought us back to our first love, supporting trafficked girls. She is also the channel through which we establish our extraordinary partnership with Project Rescue-USA.

In August 2023, Jonathan and Jennifer Barratt visited from the USA and we realized that after so many years of tearful prayer, God had finally answered our prayers. With the premises currently being acquired by Project Rescue for our organization, the girls will have a secure setting to carry out capacity-building activities, psychological support, and personal development training... Surely, God will do great things for the salvation of souls through our Project Rescue partnership. May the Lord bless Project Rescue for its wonderful hand of partnership.” -BBC

A new Center to foster restoration

Project Rescue has purchased a building and begun renovation. It is being used in ministry in this part of the country. This facility will serve three important purposes:

  • Ministry center of operations.

  • Source of sustainable income through rental housing.

  • A safe home for survivors once dormitories are added.

Here, women can receive counseling, vocational training, safe housing, and assistance as they journey toward full restoration.

West Africa plays a significant role in cross-border trafficking, and this center will be a crucial haven for women survivors.

  • Children from the local village

  • The region where we serve

  • New Center being renovated

  • Women working at the local market

  • Our partner and local teacher: BBC

  • Students from BBC's School
