The Whole Journey

At Hagar we are committed to the whole journey. The whole journey starts with a survivor, an individual who has experienced severe trauma as a result of slavery, trafficking, or abuse. From the moment that individual enters our care, we work with them to assess what their needs are, and offer a full range of intensive and individualised services.

We rebuild trust and resilience.

We can provide a safe place to live, counselling, case management services, legal support, education, and safe, empowering jobs. We create opportunities to ensure that the individual is not simply surviving, but thriving.

The whole journey encapsulates each step taken by a survivor toward healing. Our goal is for each individual to be a champion for change in their own life and in the community.

Protect

We ensure a safe environment, including legal support, for our clients, staff and caregivers. We use a trauma-informed care approach to ensure the communities in which our clients heal and our staff operate in are safe and supportive. We provide access to legal counsel, as well as case-management and counselling support throughout legal processes.

Heal

We empower individuals to recover from the impact of trauma. We train counsellors using methods that are aligned with international best practice and informed by partnerships with leading research universities like Johns Hopkins and Harvard.

Thrive

We ensure that all those we work with have access to education and economic empowerment services. We create opportunities for our clients through our Community Learning Centre, placements in local schools, employability training, on the job training, and securing scholarships for university.

Lead

We amplify the voices and experiences of those we serve to bring about the systemic changes needed to combat human trafficking, slavery & abuse. We partner with governments in all of our operational countries to ensure that change takes place in a systemic, sustainable way.
