Our projects exist to restore, educate, equip, and provide hope to the oppressed, the trafficked, the vulnerable, the impoverished, and the at-risk.
Because people MATTER!
our Projects
Childhood is supposed to be a time for fun, exploration and learning. Yet almost 1 in every 200 children are living in modern slavery. When our founder Leigh Ramsey visited Cambodia she met young children, little girls who were being sold into sex trafficking. She said ‘IT’S NOT OK’. Within a year our SHE Rescue Home opened a safe haven in Cambodia for girls aged 5 - 16 years who have been trafficked or sexually exploited. Since then we have opened several projects to change the lives of girls rescued from human trafficking and sexual exploitation and helping them lead thriving lives.
Our administration office has been in Brisbane, Australia since the beginning. Seeing the impact we have in Cambodia, we wanted to support our local community in a similar way. We developed a Community Care project to bring hope and practical support to those needing assistance from all backgrounds and circumstances. Our heart is to see lives changed, families strengthened and our communities transformed. We specifically focus on Crisis Care, Community Engagement, and Community Education outworked through a range of programs and initiatives such as our Marketplace and Love Army.
Every new mum should be celebrated. Sadly, this isn’t always the case. Some do it really tough – with no support, no resource and not a lot of hope. And that’s not ok. Every sister needs a cheer squad, so we’re linking arms with our local maternity hospitals in Australia with gorgeous packs to get these mums started – packs of clothes, hygiene products and nappies.
After a year operating in our local community with our Community Care Project we met some extraordinary families raising some extraordinary young people with disabilities. Every family needs a community to help raise their children. Sadly, not all families have a community around them or find the supports they need for raise young people with disabilities. Some families fall through the gaps in services and society. And it’s not ok. We were determined to help these families and as such The Extraordinary Initiative was born.
We exist that together we may see INDIVIDUALS of all ages healed, loved, and empowered to be self-sustaining change-makers for themselves, their families, and generations to come.
