Sanctuary of Moses Ministries, Inc.

Sanctuary of Moses Missions works to combat child trafficking and slavery in Benin, West Africa. We do this through education of children and the support of families.  Education is not mandatory or available to poor children in many African countries.  Children unable to attend school become prey for traffickers who apprehend them and sell them as commodities. When placed in a protected, caring, learning environment, children are kept from harm’s way.  Since 2003, Sanctuary of Moses has helped poor boys and girls in Akpali Kpevi and  Adjohoun, Benin, go to school and stay in school.  In 2010, we provided scholarships for more than 120 children—boys and girls. The children also received school uniforms, shoes, money for meals, and school supplies.

Empowering families to feed, clothe, and shelter their children is a critical component of combating child slavery.  We provide microloans to mothers for building businesses so they can support their families.  In addition to education, Sanctuary of Moses Missions funds wells to provide clean water to villages, and supports clinics with medical supplies. Our goal is to continue sustainable support in Adjohoun through the addition of a trade and technical center and clinic in Kpomasse.
