Restoring Life & Dignity

Survivor Care

When a survivor is rescued from trafficking, slavery, or abuse, they need a safe place to heal.

Hagar’s safe homes and community-based care programmes are havens of healing.

Holistic support helps each survivor process trauma and grow in confidence and resilience.

We do whatever it takes for as long as it takes to restore life and dignity.

Hagar’s Survivor Care Programmes are:

Trauma-Informed

Hagar's Survivor Care programmes use a trauma-informed approach. Our work is grounded in the knowledge that trauma can impact the whole person, mind, body and soul.

Holistic

No two people are the same, and neither are their healing journeys. Hagar's Survivor Care programmes keep the whole person front and center and address each individual's unique needs.

Long-Term

The effects of trauma often run deep. That's why Hagar provides long-term, empowering care. This commitment transforms the lives of survivors, their families, and their communities.

Safe Homes

Hagar’s Safe Homes are short-term refuges of protection, refuge, and healing. Each survivor is welcomed with open arms and starts their healing journey.

Caring house parents, social workers, and trauma counsellors monitor each individual’s progress.

Every survivor receives the specialised support they need to heal and thrive like counselling, medical care, nourishing meals, legal aid, education, and a loving community of support.

Community-Based Care

Hagar’s Community-Based Care programmes provide holistic recovery services for survivors within their communities. A social worker monitors each individual’s progress and connects them to the specialised support they need to overcome trauma and thrive.

Community-based care services include:

  • Foster care for children whose parents or family members were complicit in their trafficking
  • Trauma therapy and family counselling
  • Medical care
  • Legal aid
  • Education and economic empowerment services
