How We Do It

Our Center of Empowerment is not a traditional space. It is a center directed towards helping women who have experienced abuse realize that they have been living in an atmosphere of undeserved and inexcusable violence. The center facilitates women´s physical and psychological recuperation, especially in terms of regaining their autonomy, self-esteem, and recognition of their own strengths and ability to take control of their lives!

In the Center, our staff collaborates with each woman to create a personal plan for the future, where each woman identifies potential goals that she has for her life. Our staff supports each woman psychologically, financially, and logistically in her efforts to attain these goals.

Once a woman is ready to begin her new life without violence, our staff helps her find a home for her and her children, acquire a micro-credit loan to begin a business, shop, or service, as well as continued encouragement, check-ins, qualitative help in investment, and other support that she needs to be successful.

The Center is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We have staff available on call at all times for women who have gone through the program and now live elsewhere, as well as at-risk women who may wish to join the program.

At Take Action we do not leave any woman alone who needs our help.
