The purpose of the Healing Walk is to provide an outdoor therapeutic environment for the young girls who reside at the Daughter Project Girls Home (DPGH). The goal is to create an inviting space that encourages our girls to spend time outdoors and that promotes healing and serenity. 

The DPGH is a Short Term Residential Therapeutic Program (STRTP) in Kern County, California that serves ups to 10 girls, ages 12-17, who have been affected by commercial sexual exploitation and/or human trafficking. The home provides 24/7 live-in care and services designed for this high-risk population. It is the goal of the DPGH to restore each girl to a family level of care or independence. 

The mission of the DPGH is to create and maintain a safe, therapeutic environment in which girls can heal. In collaboration with community partners, the DPGH strives to provide a continuum of care and services for each girl in the program to address her individual emotional, physical, psychological, social, educational, environmental, and spiritual needs. We believe that no child should be in a circumstance where they find themselves displaced from their home and vulnerable to exploitation, abuse, neglect, and/or trafficking. 

The DPGH first opened its doors in 2017 and now seeks to relocate to a more peaceful, semi-rural location. The new property was purchased in 2022 and sits on over two acres of land, providing plenty of outdoor space. We are scheduled to transition by early June 2024. We thank you for your consideration and for being a part of protecting and impacting the lives of these vulnerable girls who are as precious to God as our own.
