AHAVA Safe House for Child Survivors in Mexico

Dear friend,
During these last few months, we received four survivors. Some stayed temporarily, while others continue their process in the shelter program. All received a special welcome, basic services, medical and psychological care, and support with their legal processes. Each received a welcome kit, clothing, shoes, and personal hygiene items. We ensured their food, health, and basic needs were met, as well as special needs such as dental and gynecological treatments.

The work presents many challenges, not only in providing the specialized care they require but also in modeling a different way of relating to others. For most of the women, everything sometimes seems so new, such as being treated with respect, being able to talk about their emotions even when it's uncomfortable and realizing that this is not a reason for rejection, receiving loving care and boundaries, and many other things they learn during their stay so they can take them with them for their lives. For the staff, it's important to plant seeds of faith and perseverance in them, but also the seeds of action, decision-making, and the responsibility that comes with their life plans.

We closed the year with academic achievements, the beginning of new stages in their development, and entrepreneurial ventures as sources of income during their transition to independence.
Their tutoring, music, counseling, group and individual workshops, and child therapy, among other things, were key this year.

We want to thank everyone who collaborates by donating. Thank you for your trust, as every penny counts in providing comprehensive care to survivors. We invite you to continue supporting us in the coming year.

Blessings, Ahava Home Team
