What is Survivor Care?

Supporting individuals who have experienced severe trauma often requires sustained effort and personalized support. Many survivors lack access to the resources they need to thrive. Our Rescue bridges that gap.

Before every mission operation, we ensure vetted survivor care services are in place through in-country organizations that help survivors.

“They [Our Rescue] fell from heaven because my kids start school tomorrow, and I wasn’t going to send them because I didn’t have money to buy them supplies.”

"For me, freedom began when others helped me see, and I started to truly believe that I have worth. That I am more than what has happened to me."

How We Empower Survivors

To help survivors build a thriving future, we offer support and services based on their specific needs.

Assessing Survivor's Needs
Assessing Survivor's Needs
Our first priority is understanding each survivor’s unique circumstances. Through a trauma-informed, human-rights-based approach, we conduct a thorough assessment to identify both urgent and ongoing needs—such as safe housing, medical care, legal support, or educational opportunities. Survivors are encouraged to voice their goals and aspirations, ensuring the support we provide truly reflects their individual needs and empowers them from the start.
Planning Individualized Care
Planning Individualized Care
With each survivor’s input, we create a personalized service plan that promotes autonomy, resilience, and self-determination. Using a collaborative, problem-solving approach, we set clear goals and tap into local and global referral networks to connect survivors with the resources they need—whether that’s vocational training, counseling, or family reunification services. Every step honors the survivor’s voice and choice in their healing journey.
Supporting Community Reintegration
Supporting Community Reintegration
As survivors move forward, we help them build pathways back into their communities in a safe and sustainable way. Our staff work closely with shelters, NGOs, and government agencies to coordinate transitional support—covering education, employment, legal matters, and emotional wellbeing. By fostering strong partnerships and local capacity, we aim to ensure that survivors have long-term support and are fully equipped to rebuild their lives within the community.
Empowering Self-Sufficiency
Empowering Self-Sufficiency
Central to our mission is empowering survivors to thrive independently. We focus on enhancing their skills and confidence through workshops, mentorship, and by connecting them with opportunities for stable income or further education. Whether it’s through micro-grants, sponsorships, or training initiatives, our goal is to help survivors develop the resilience and autonomy needed to sustain their progress well beyond our direct care.
