The Organization operates in 2 major divisions namely the Outreach/Rehabilitation and the Preventive arm.
Outreach/Rehabilitation
The Outreach arm of the NGO organizes outreaches to brothels in various
communities using programs like Mobile Care Clinic, seminars, discipleship\life skills trainings and counseling.
Girls are brought out of the brothels, under the bridges or sent by churches/communities and taken to the home for rehabilitation. They are later trained on Income Generating Activity of their choice and given equipment grant to start a new life after a period of between 11/2 to 2 years.
Preventive Arm/ Couples Training
This arm organizes trainings through the Wholistic Outreach Training School ( WOTRAP) for church members, co-coordinators, teenage and youth Pastors on issues of abstinence, as it affects our youths and teenagers, setting up of youth clubs, life skill trainings etc.
Under the preventive Arm, Couples trainings are also organized for couples within the church to promote positive parenting between parents and their children. A team of trainers within the organization had their capacities built up by Scripture Union West Africa on several topics like “Raising Confident Children”, Parent Child Communication” Discipline for Freedom”, How to help your children sturdy” , Life Skill Training, Peer Education Training etc.
