Rescue Redeem Renew
Esthers Rising
We are a faith based non-profit located in the Black Hills of South Dakota working to provide restorative care for adolescents who are at risk for or have experienced sexual exploitation or sex trafficking.
About Us
Helping child victims of human trafficking know that they are Valuable & Healed through Him
It is our mission to create an emergency home in the Black Hills of South Dakota for girls who are rescued from human trafficking where their immediate physical and emotional needs will be met. The home will then act as a long-term healing center where the children are given trauma counseling, education and medical care. The last step in the process is to develop life skills and move towards successful independent living.
January is National Human Trafficking Prevention Month
As we step into 2026, one of the ways we’re continuing our awareness work is through our January Human Trafficking Prevention Month campaign. This month is an opportunity to stand together and send a clear message: human trafficking is not welcome here, and we stand firmly with survivors.
One simple, tangible way you can join us is by placing a yard sign at your home or business for the month of January. This small action makes a powerful statement—declaring that our community is aware, vigilant, and committed to protecting the vulnerable.
If you’d like to participate and display a sign, please click the link below to coordinate pickup or drop-off.
Thank you for being part of the change in the Black Hills.
The Home
This facility is not just a building; it’s a sanctuary where healing and restoration are at the heart of every detail. Our design emphasizes comfort, security, and a nurturing environment to help survivors aged 12–18 rebuild their lives.
✨ We are thrilled to announce that land has already been acquired, and we’re taking the next steps to make this dream a reality! ✨
Key features of this “bungalow” design include:
💜 Private Spaces: Comfortable single bedrooms & bathrooms designed for privacy and peace.
💜 Community Area: Warm, welcoming spaces for group activities and support.
💜 House Parent Space: Private quarters for live-in staff to ensure continuous supervision, stability, and support.
💜 Rural Setting: Spacious rural environment providing room for safe restoration.
With your support, we can open doors to hope and healing by the end of 2026. Donate today to help us bring this vision to life!
