Nestled in the heart of Papong, Thailand, Rahab Bazaar enters bars in the area and builds relationships with women working in the bars. As relationships are developed, Rahab offers the women the option to leave the bars, to receive education, safe housing, a job working in their income generation project, a caring environment, and help with daycare for their children or even sponsorship for their children’s education. Rahab attends to each woman’s individual needs while facilitating the first step in helping them gain back their dignity and independence and begin a new life.
The Rahab Ministries Sponsorship Program enables women to leave the bars and engage in vocational training or further education. Some children of bar women are sponsored to attend school. Some young girls “at risk” of entering prostitution are also helped to find other employment. One of the reasons girls become involved in prostitution is that they have little or no education and have insufficient employable skills to have adequate job options.
