How one man found a way to help many women sexually abused in Guatemala.

And e very time you give, you transform more and more.

Guatemala is considered the most dangerous place for women in the Western Hemisphere. Suffering from a brutal legacy of women’s rights abuses and sexual violence exacerbated by oppressive poverty and an appalling lack of social programs. Frustrated with inaction Eric Toupin, 34, built a home for victims of sexual abuse.

The shelter takes a longterm, holistic approach to rehabilitation and support. For many of their residents, the home begins as a safe place during a time of crisis, but soon becomes a catalyst for positive change, transformation and the cultivation of independence in their lives.

The home offers safety, support and opportunity for women of every age: childhood, adolescence and adulthood.
