This project is one of my
proudest achievements…eight women upgraded their employability skills
and found work in fields specifically related to their training with
the assistance of funds raised through this project. As a result, each
woman was able to get off of government assistance. Even though the
Foundation was not able to reach its goal of establishing second-stage
transitional housing for battered women and their children, they were
quite successful with their youth programs, one where teenagers and
young adults could apprentice as bicycle mechanics, and another called
Innerstart, which was a centre for conflict resolution and mediation. NOTE: There is no current contact information for The
Sanctuary Foundation.
