Founded in 1983, Hogar Ruth is a safe haven for women and children escaping the cycle of domestic violence. We will work with the residents of the shelter to create a cookbook of staff and family recipes. This book will also double as a "covert" abuse prevention manual; a seemingly innocuous cookbook that the aggressor will not realize is a resource for the woman in need.
Currently there are 8 women and 12 children in the facility. The program offers many training seminars for personal growth. It also gives them confidence as well as a skill set for future personal / professional development.
In the picture below the Director of Hogar Ruth speaks to the Team about the program and about domestic violence on the island. The percentage of women affected by this growing crime in Puerto Rico is alarming.
