What Is The Mercy Project Colorado?
The Mercy Project Colorado is a privately funded 501c3 organization that provides safety, healing and hope for girls who have been forced into commercial sexual exploitation. We do this in two ways:
First, by establishing faithful partnerships with safe houses and aftercare facilities to provide service and encouragement to these children. By partnership with approved aftercare homes and facilities, individuals and congregation members are organized and trained to provide resources, encouragement, mentoring and other forms of healthy engagement to the staff working in caring facilities, and thereby assist in providing a curriculum of trauma based behavioral cognitive therapy needed for each child. Through a tailored and comprehensive program, staff members, trauma specialists and other caregivers experience sponsorship, community, encouragement and healthy relationships with individuals and caring organizations.
Second, The Mercy Project Colorado seeks to create and develop an aftercare facility in Colorado that will be dedicated to girls who have been rescued from Commercial Sexual Exploitation (CSE). Through medical care, counseling and individualized attention, this facility will be dedicated to this specific population, and will house 8-10 girls. Through a foundation of Christian love, compassion and extensive specialized counseling, The Mercy Project Colorado aftercare facility will relieve a child’s need to make decisions based on survival and fear and provide these children with the self-esteem and adequate life skills that are essential for a promising future.
