Street Girl Outreach
Baby Rescue Centre
Background
At present Fresh Hope are working in the city of Bo outreaching to a large number of girls who are working on the street to earn a living and support their families. Since 2003 we have befriended and loved these girls just as Jesus loves them. We have helped these girls realise their value and worth through speaking biblical truth over them and as a result have seen 100 girls come to personally develop a relationship with Jesus and attend our Fresh Hope church. Over the past year at Fresh Hope we have provided a counselling service to help support these girls both emotionally and spiritually. We have also tried to train and equip these girls to help provide them with alternative means of income. We provide classes to train and equip girls in tailoring, hairdressing, hair extension making, Soap making, Tie-dye, traditional weaving, literacy and numeracy, discipleship and others.
Our current reality
Unfortunately 40 girls have returned to the streets during COVID19 for income as we have struggled to financially establish projects that will give these girls as source for income and keep them off the streets. These girls are children of God, they are known and loved by their heavenly father who wants nothing but the best for them. God has a plan for their life. Working on the street to provide for their families is not only physically unsafe for these girls but emotionally and spiritually draining. This is not God’s plan for their life but they have been forced into this lifestyle. These girls deserve better. They deserve a life giving opportunity to live life to full as Jesus intended these girls to live. Our youngest girl who is working on the street is aged just 13. These women are vulnerable, broken and hoping for a way out. It’s so great that so many of these girls came to know Jesus but our work doesn’t stop there. We need regular financial support to provide an alternative means of income for the girls and we need to be able to spread the love of Jesus further on the street to see many more girls come to faith and experience life in all its fullness.Impact Stories
“I used to give my body to men I did not know, but now I am using that body to serve Christ. I will work for him for the rest of my life. I will not go back. I am begging Fresh Hope to help us learn basic skills so we can be capacitated and become self-reliance. We love Fresh Hope.”
"I am saying this with tears; I never intended to be in the street but situation forced me. When I lost my parents, there was nobody to take care of us (me and my two brothers). I immediately became the bread winner and I am the eldest. Life was not easy. I had to feed them and pay their school fees. This is the reason I went to the street, but thank God I am now a Christian. I am presently enjoying my life in Christ Jesus. I will never go back. I am enjoying the love in the church. Thank God for Fresh Hope. Thank God for Rev Massaquoi."
"I never knew what is means to live a decent life except now. I became a street girl at the age of 13 years. Now I am 21 years. I lost my parents while I was 12 years and that pushed me into this immoral life. But thank God I found Jesus. I am now a new creation, old things have passed away. I will not go back. I am enjoying my life now. I want to do something that will keep me busy. Thank God for Fresh Hope."
"I am happy for the new life I have discovered. I thank God for Fresh hope ministries. I have two kids as a result of my former life. They are all attending the fresh hope school and I am not paying anything for them. I want to be self-reliance. I pray that God will provide for fresh hope so that they can continue to help us. I am happy. I don't want to go back."
