The Genesis Project
The Genesis Project is based out of South Seattle, where we provide a drop-in center to meet the needs of prostituted women and trafficking victims. This includes food, hygiene, clothing, and a safe place to rest. We also offer a offer a daytime facility that provides ongoing counseling, job and life skills classes, transportation to medical appointments and court, and access to educational programs such as GED completion. Our hope is to open a safe house before long to give these women another option when they need help in safely and successfully leaving their situation.

Progress in Saving Children's Lives
Every day, more than 19,000 children die—and they don't have to. They die from causes most people in the U.S. rarely worry about. Malnutrition. Unsafe drinking water. Lack of an affordable vaccine.
