THE TRANSFORMATIVE JOURNEY OF RANCHO NI CRISTO
At the core of the Philippines, where obstacles are significant, our determination is even stronger. The issues of child trafficking and sexual abuse, particularly in the shadowy world of online exploitation, afflict our country. Disturbing figures show that 54% of victims in Online Sexual Exploitation of Children (OSEC) cases are young children below the age of 12. This truth shatters not just our hearts but, crucially, God's heart, urging us to act.
A SANCTUARY OF HEALING
In the midst of this darkness, Rancho ni Cristo stands boldly as a beacon of hope. Our mission is unmistakable—to rescue, restore, and heal. This sanctuary confidently serves as a refuge for courageous girls who have triumphed over the atrocities of online sex trafficking.
At Rancho, learning extends far beyond traditional textbooks. The girls engage in a curriculum that not only delivers knowledge but also nurtures their hearts and souls. In our on-campus school, they not only finish their senior high school education but also delve into the fields of music, dance, arts, and sports. Worship plays a fundamental role, promoting spiritual development and cultivating a deep appreciation for Christ's infinite love.
Fundamental requirements—such as food, housing, and healthcare—form the basis. However, Rancho provides additional support. Counselling and mentoring create a nurturing network, assisting the girls on their path to recovery. Life skills training prepares them for a future that extends beyond their past struggles.
A HOPEFUL CAMPUS
The vision goes beyond mere rescue. We imagine a fully realised campus—ten cottages, a school alive with laughter and education, a gym bustling with energy, a canteen brimming with communal meals, a clinic dedicated to health, and staff accommodation that promotes togetherness. However, the dream continues beyond this.
Rancho is more than just a refuge; it's a community dedicated to sustainability. The girls grow fruits and vegetables while caring for chickens, ducks, and goats, developing skills that enable them to build a sustainable future.
The vision goes further than just rescue. We imagine a fully realised campus—10 cottages, a school alive with laughter and education, a gym buzzing with energy, a canteen brimming with communal meals, a clinic promoting health, and staff accommodation encouraging togetherness. Yet, this dream continues beyond that.
