RAHAB Ministries (Reaching Above Hopelessness and Brokenness, Inc.)

RAHAB Ministries began with one woman who had a heart to serve the women who were being trafficked in Akron, OH. She went into the streets and strip clubs to connect with them, offering conversation, kindness, prayers and helping any way she could. More than twenty years later, this heart to love like Jesus in the darkest of circumstances remains the foundation of our work.

Over the years RAHAB’s services have expanded to multiple Northeast Ohio counties and includes Outreach on streets, in strip clubs and in jail facilities, two Drop-In Homes, and mentoring and case management services for youth. In all of our programs, RAHAB staff and volunteers continue to serve survivors by offering safe, non-judgmental connection and assistance as the first steps towards freedom.

RAHAB also provides education and training on human trafficking and trauma to organizations and groups throughout the region to spread awareness of how trafficking happens in our local communities and how we can all be part of preventing it.
