Since then the White Ribbon has spread to over 60 countries around the world. We work to examine the root causes of gender-based violence and create a cultural shift that helps bring us to a future without violence.

We were established in 1955 as a home for needy women. Through the years we have continued to offer effective programs to meet their needs. Our residents are homeless, many have substance abuse problems, some are abused and some are the abusers; some are out of income and resources. All are out of options. Evangel Home is a Christian ministry that believes in the worth of each individual and in the power of Jesus Christ to restore broken lives. We believe that each woman must learn to take responsibility for her life and our programs are aimed to help them become victors rather than to remain victims of harsh circumstances. Our basic philosophy is that we are most effective focusing on one woman 1,000 ways rather than 1,000 women one way.
