New Textile Arts Lab at House of Grace

Global Servants

We are excited about our new vocational labs at both Houses of Grace! At House of Grace Ghana, the older girls have completed their first project, dresses for the younger girls.

Our girls are learning about the fundamental and advanced sewing techniques required to make clothes for themselves and their families. With these skills, they also have the opportunity to pursue careers in fashion. Because of the occasional blackouts and brownouts in Ghana, it is essential that the girls master the art of using hand-powered sewing machines.

In creating this one simple dress, the girls demonstrated their sewing abilities in areas such as tailoring, pleating, ruffles, and lining. We look forward to seeing their work with embroidery and decorative stitching in the future.

Together we are Saving Little Girls for Big Destinies!

Our goal is to teach the girls at House of Grace how to use sewing tools and machinery in a professional setting, including the use of sergers, electric sewing machines, and rotary cutting equipment. They will start by learning basic sewing techniques such as how to select, cut, and prepare fabrics for garment creation, and how to thread needles. Pattern making, simple seams, and fastener installments (such as hooks, snaps, and clips) are also included in the curriculum.

For Global Servants, this month reflects a mission we live out day-by-day all year—protecting vulnerable girls before exploitation ever occurs. A Global Crisis Rooted in Vulnerability Human trafficking thrives where vulnerability exists. Poverty, lack of education, family instability, displacement, and crisis situations all create conditions where girls are placed at greater risk. Globally, an estimated 27.6 million people are subjected to trafficking today, many of them children. Trafficking does not begin with exploitation—it begins with exposure. When children lack safe environments, consistent care, and access to education, traffickers find opportunity. That is why prevention is so critical. House of Grace: Protection Before Harm The House of Grace addresses vulnerability at its roots. Through Houses of Grace in West Africa and Southeast Asia, Global Servants provides safe, stable, and nurturing homes for girls who face significant risk due to circumstances beyond their control. These homes are built on the belief that protection, education, and love are powerful tools of prevention. At House of Grace, girls are: Surrounded by consistent, caring adults Given access to education and life-shaping opportunities Provided a secure and supportive environment Encouraged to discover their God-given value and purpose By removing vulnerability, House of Grace helps close the door before exploitation ever has the chance to enter. Prevention Through Presence Preventing human trafficking requires more than awareness—it requires long-term presence. Global Servants works alongside local churches, educators, caregivers, and community leaders to strengthen families and build protective environments for children. By addressing root causes such as poverty and lack of access to education, we help communities create lasting solutions that protect girls and change futures. Why Awareness Still Matters Despite global efforts and increased legislation, traffickers continue to adapt. National Human Trafficking Prevention Month reminds us that everyone has a role to play—from learning the warning signs to supporting prevention-focused ministries and praying for vulnerable children around the world. With Grateful Hearts This prevention-focused work is only possible because of faithful partners who believe protection is better than intervention after harm. Because of your generosity, girls are growing up in safe environments where hope is nurtured, education is prioritized, and dignity is protected. You are helping transform vulnerability into opportunity—and fear into hope. Prevention changes outcomes. Protection preserves futures. And hope begins with care. Thank you for partnering with Global Servants and House of Grace to provide a safe home for our girls.
