Project Beauty

OUR MISSION IS TO SPREAD EMPOWERMENT THROUGH THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE OF BEAUTY BY HELPING WOMEN BUILD CONFIDENCE, HOPE AND PROVIDE SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT FOR EACH OTHER. PROJECT BEAUTY PROVIDES BEAUTY SERVICES TO WOMEN AND CHILDREN WHO ARE GOING THROUGH DIFFICULT CIRCUMSTANCES. WE FOCUS ON INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED DIFFERENT TYPES OF TRAUMA, SUCH AS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, HOMELESSNESS, AND SEX TRAFFICKING. THESE ARE INDIVIDUALS WHO MAY LACK EDUCATION, SUPPORT AND RESOURCES. IT IS PROJECT BEAUTY'S BIGGEST HOPE THAT WE CAN HELP THESE WOMEN AND CHILDREN RECOGNIZE THEIR SELF-WORTH, KNOW THAT THEY ARE CARED FOR, LOVED, AND THAT THEY ARE IMPORTANT AND NOT INVISIBLE.
