Widows, single mothers, and abandoned women face trauma, poverty, and nowhere safe to turn. Daughters of God gives them a place—and the support to rise.

From Abandoned to Valued

After the civil war, countless women—widows, single mothers, and those abandoned—were left without hope or resources. They carry trauma for lack of justice, and burdens no one should bear alone.

Daughters of God steps in with shelter, care, discipleship, and community.
Each gift restores worth and gives a woman a safe place to begin again.

Laying the Groundwork for Change

The path out of crisis rarely begins with confidence—it begins with a roof, a relationship, and someone who cares.

Through Daughters of God, women begin to find steady ground. Some live on-site, supported in daily life as they pursue work, education, or healing. Others step into independence through our Houses of Hope initiative—building and settling into homes they never thought possible.

Whether it’s a room of her own, help managing a household, or encouragement along the way, the support is personal and practical. We walk with each one step by step—offering structure, truth, and care as she works toward a future marked by faith, stability, and hope.

Say Yes to Their Journey

Your gift helps women take the next step—whether that’s moving into a stable home, learning how to care for their family, or resting in safety for the first time. From building homes to offering life support and discipleship, you make it possible.

Give to Where Needed Most to strengthen the mission as a whole, —one need, one home, one life at a time.

Women in Crisis

Most of the women we serve are single mothers, widows, or survivors of domestic violence. Some have been abandoned. Others carry deep grief, trauma, or poverty that has shaped every part of their story.
 

Many have never had a voice that was heard—or a place where change felt possible. At Daughters of God, they are seen. It becomes a place to begin again.

 

Each woman starts with a Plan de Vida—a personalized roadmap for growth in faith, health, family, and stability. It marks a new beginning: a chance to name what’s broken and imagine something different.

Every woman who walks through these doors is given the same opportunity—to rise, rebuild, and reclaim what was stolen.

Support That Goes Deep

At Daughters of God, we don’t offer quick fixes. We walk with women through the hard, holy work of rebuilding—emotionally, spiritually, and practically.

Sometimes the healing unravels. But when a woman chooses to keep going, we’re there to walk with her.

What Your Support Provides

  • Financial help to cover basic needs while she works or studies

  • Guidance for daily life—from managing a home to navigating healthcare

  • Spiritual encouragement rooted in biblical truth

  • A stable, Christ-centered environment where healing can begin

Each woman’s path is different, but no one walks it alone

Where Their Story Finds Room to Heal

This community exists because others believed restoration was possible. Every woman carries a story—some marked by abandonment, abuse, or deep loss.

At Daughters of God, those stories are met with compassion. Here women are invited into something new: stability and the beginning of spiritual restoration.
