The Story of Pearl Haven: A Safe Haven for Sex Trafficked Girls

Former RCWW President, Lilette Subedi, will be sharing information with us on the Pearl Haven project. 

The Pearl Haven Campus is situated on 12 acres of pristine rural community on the Island of Oahu. When the existing 20,000 square foot building is fully renovated the campus will provide an ideal location for a comprehensive program of trauma recovery and preparation for reintegration into the community. The Pearl Haven program is being designed to meet the unique needs of victims (ages 11-17) who have been sexually abused and exploited. Scheduled to open in 2019 with an initial census of 8- 12 residents, Pearl Haven will eventually have a capacity to serve up to 32 underage victims. In addition to the required State of Hawaii Department of Health special treatment facility license, the program will seek national accreditation. This specialized facility will be among the first of its kind in the United States and will accept applicants from all islands and from across the country.
