Restorative Hope Ministries (RHM) is dedicated to empowering survivors of human trafficking through personal and professional development. We bridge the gap between recovery and sustainable independence by removing barriers to employment, providing hands-on training in a real business environment, and surrounding each participant with individualized support.

Through workforce development, education, mentorship, and financial empowerment, survivors gain the confidence and skills needed to thrive in the workforce and in life. RHM also partners with safe houses and community organizations to equip survivors with practical business knowledge, from e-commerce and accounting to product development and customer service, creating pathways to independence, stability, and renewed purpose.
