Families Mentoring Families exists to break the cycle of trafficking and poverty across Africa by reuniting families, providing literacy and leadership education, and walking with survivors through repatriation and aftercare. We operate across six countries, and every program, every safe house, every rescued woman, every child learning to read is made possible by a team of volunteers who believe freedom is worth fighting for.
Whether you've been to Ghana with us, you're planning your first expedition, or you've just discovered this work and feel the pull to be part of it, there's a place for you here. Below are the twelve committees that make this mission move. Find the one that fits your gifts, and let's get you connected.
FINANCES Keeping the mission financially sound, transparent, and sustainable. Bookkeeping, accounting, tax compliance, requisitions, reimbursements, payroll. You ensure every dollar is stewarded well so the work can continue without interruption.
REPATRIATION & AFTERCARE Walking survivors from rescue to restoration, one woman and one family at a time. Aftercare center coordination, repatriation logistics, travel arrangements, case management, program development, safe house operations, facilities management, staff training. You hold the container where healing happens.
