This is a fundraiser to benefit Journey Outreach. Journey Outreach is a non-profit organization established in 2001 through donations from a generous group of individuals. Their vision was to provide Journeywork to children in South Africa living in orphanages and in rural schools who have suffered the hurt and pain of violence and abuse. School Children & Youth is now our largest program, and children in over 2000 classrooms worldwide have found personal freedom, love and healing. In 2007, a study completed with 4700 South African children showed that by just doing a 30-45 minute Classroom Journey process once a week, the number of students that passed improved by 50%. We have seen similar results with students all over the world, including reports of fewer referrals and less absenteeism. Journey Outreach also provides programs for Wellness & Abuse Recovery, Employment & Empowerment and Correctional Facilities.
Journeywork is used in 20 different languages and has empowered over a million people to work through challenging emotions and find their true essence, beauty, and strength. A guided introspection process allows blocks to be uncovered and released in a healthy way. Since it's establishment, Journey Outreach has grown to 14 countries on four continents, providing services for shelters, prisons, disaster relief, orphanages, hospitals, schools, abused persons, suicide prevention, substance abuse, life-threatening diseases, minority and disadvantaged populations.
We have regional offices in Africa, Australasia, and North America supporting programs in Australia, Botswana, Canada, China, India, Kenya, Macau, Mexico, Namibia, New Zealand, South Africa, United States, Japan, Tanzania. To support our future growth and excellence the Board of Directors is committed to rigorous evaluation through partnerships with recognized research and evaluation teams.
