WHO IS HAGAR

Hagar is an international organisation committed to the recovery, empowerment, and reintegration of women and children who have suffered human rights abuses.  In particular, Hagar serves women and children who are victims of domestic violence, human trafficking, and sexual exploitation.  Established in Cambodia in 1994, Hagar launched programming in both Afghanistan and Vietnam in 2009.

Recovery shelters, education, vocational training and business enterprise are all critical in restoring women and children to wholeness. Every year, abused women and children recover, gain education and training, and become financially independent through Hagar.

“We are committed to the individual – whatever it takes for as long as it takes to restore a broken life “
Kate Kennedy CEO
