Human trafficking in Moldova is very real. In the past, most trafficked Moldavians were taken to Europe. Now many are taken to Turkey and the Middle East where the demand has grown and anti-trafficking efforts have not yet taken root. The situation is not improving, but only becoming more entrenched.
The numbers and statistics are staggering, but we must not overlook the fact that each number represents an individual. The Home of Hope is designed to be a home of safety, a home of restoration. As girls and women return to Moldova after months or years of horror, they are able to find a safe place to heal.
The Home of Hope is not a center or a clinic, but a home, a place where the love of Jesus can heal broken lives. No matter the time needed, this home is open to those that are desperate for wholeness. We have designed it as a place of beauty, where God’s peace can calm the greatest inner storms.
Home of Hope Moldova is part of Project Rescue (link to http://projectrescue.com), an international anti-trafficking ministry to victims of human trafficking.
