Through red-light district outreach, our partner in Belgium is creating connections with women and men who are often marginalized and overlooked. These initiatives offers them a chance to explore spiritual guidance and the possibilities of life outside of the district. Our partner helps those who are in the red-light district envision a hopeful future, encouraging them to take steps toward healing and transformation.
Everyone participating in the program has the chance to engage in an income generation project, which takes the form of a coffee shop. This initiative not only provides employment but also includes training, enabling them to gain valuable skills and experience. Through this stable and safe line of work, they can build a foundation for their future, fostering growth and independence in a nurturing environment.
Ministry in Belgium: Our initiatives
Vocational Training
This training helps equip survivors for the workforce and lowers the risk of re-exploitation. Here, they begin their steps to live independently through dignified work.
red-light district outreach
Relational outreach is designed to make connections, build trust, and invite men and women living in exploitation to our partner's center. This consistent presence helps individuals know they are seen, valued, and not alone.
sustainability
The Oasis Cafe serves as a sustainability project that can financially support its operational costs, so outreach can continue. These efforts help support long-term stability and empower the local team and survivors.
A PLACE OF HOPE IN BELGIUM
Since 2018, Project Rescue’s partners in Belgium have reached more than 2,200 individuals through outreach, vocational training, and a supportive community of healing. At the heart of this outreach is a newly renovated café—now equipped with modern bathrooms, a remodeled kitchen, outdoor seating, and professional-grade café equipment.
In a culture where asking for help can feel like weakness, this café offers something powerful: a warm, welcoming space where survivors can begin again. It's a place where they build relationships, discover purpose, and take their first steps toward freedom. As the café enters its busiest season, we are committed to completing the remaining renovations and ensuring the sustainability of this life-changing work.
