Lydia's House works in faith to end domestic violence by being a place of healing and a voice of hope for abused women and their children.
The Issue:
1 in 4 women will be affected by domestic violence in their lifetime
Every 9 seconds a woman is assaulted or beaten
Everyday more than 3 women are murdered by their husbands, boyfriends or partners
10 million children witness some form of domestic violence annually
Domestic violence is the third leading cause of homelessness
How We Make A Difference:
Providing safe, confidentially located, fully furnished apartments for up to two years, bridging that critical stepping stone between emergency shelter and safe, independent living
Assisting women and their children to create and implement long-term individual life-goal plans which include education, training, employment and safe housing
Facilitating access to information and referrals to community resources
Creating awareness about domestic violence through community outreach and educational ministry
