Project Rescue

When temperatures climb, a little shade can make a big difference.

At first glance, a new awning at Oasis Coffee might not seem like a significant milestone. But for our team in Europe, it's another way we're creating a welcoming place where relationships can grow.

Located on the edge of the red-light district, Oasis Coffee is much more than a café. It's a place where men and women can step away from exploitation, share a meal, build trust, and encounter a community that genuinely cares for them.

With temperatures reaching 35°C (95°F) this week, the new awning helps make the outdoor seating cooler and more comfortable, creating more opportunities for conversations, community gatherings, and moments of connection.

Sometimes restoration doesn't begin with a dramatic moment. Sometimes it begins with a warm welcome, a shared cup of coffee, and someone who is willing to listen.

Thank you for helping create places where hope can grow.

You met Binta years ago. Today, she's finally home. 🦋

When we first shared Binta's story, we celebrated her courage as she stepped out of exploitation and began rebuilding her life. Since then, you've prayed for her, encouraged her, and watched her grow.

Today, we're celebrating another milestone.

Binta is the first resident of Project Rescue's new safe home in West Africa—a place created so women can continue their journey toward healing, dignity, and lasting freedom.

One woman has moved in. Many more will follow.

If you've been following Binta's journey, what part of her story has stayed with you most?

Summer looks a little different around the world—but the joy is the same.

Laughter with friends.
Time to learn.
Moments to play.
Dreams for the future.

For the children and young people in Project Rescue programs, these everyday moments represent something powerful: the opportunity to simply be a child.

This summer, we're celebrating the joy, growth, and hope we see in communities around the world.🦋
