Empowering Young Women Seeking Asylum

Who We Are

Since its opening on October 2017, Bethany House has welcomed more than 114 women and 45 small children. They come from 26 countries in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Eastern Europe and South and Central America. The average length of stay is 10 months. Most arrived in this country as unaccompanied children seeking asylum. They have ‘aged out’ of the children’s detention centers. Most take ESL, GED or high school classes. Several women at Bethany House have been helped to attend local colleges.
