Canada Empowerment Campaign 2015

As Prestige made its maiden voyage into Canada, Pastor Taffi and the team were able to do the following:

Visit three facilities that provide a safe haven for women in the nation’s capital, Ottawa, which is home to just over 900,000 people.
Tour facilities that provide emergency shelter, temporary-, transitional- & supportive housing accommodation, as well as facilities that stand as places of refuge for at-risk women.
Through these visits, helped to positively impact the lives of just under 100 women by aiding in the preservation and maintenance of healthy lifestyles through the distribution of carefully selected and packaged hygiene products.
Enter some of the most vulnerable and delicate communities of people – among whom are the highly targeted Aboriginal women (reports indicate that about half of people trafficked in Canada are Aboriginal women).
Venture into the underground world of the sex-trading streets, on a research mission to gain insight on the movements on streets where pimps and prostitutes trade.
Reach out to groupings of women who are homeless, forced to live clandestine lives to stay alive, and women whose lives are threatened (statistics show that 30,000 Canadians are homeless every night).

We had the privilege to see change empowered in the lives of:

Sex traders/prostitutes
Drug addicts
Individuals in abusive relationships
Survivors of domestic violence
Individuals experiencing family break-ups
Physically challenged individuals
Mentally challenged individuals

Encouraging Testimonies

“We very much appreciate you remembering those…who have so little and require so much. Your contribution will assist us in serving the over 1,600 people that come to our doors every day in need of assistance. Thank you very much for the gifts you brought for the women as well, and for helping to make a difference in their lives. We look forward to a continued relationship with the Pastor (Taffi).
