A Refuge

"Tahanan Sta. Luisa is a place where Lost Girls can seek brief refuge from the hazards of living on the streets or from abusive homes or employers."

An Opportunity to Help

"Tahanan Sta. Luisa is your opportunity to help. At least help us save one of them; bring them out of the streets and give them chance at a new life."

Giving to Tahanan

"With your support these young girls will be able to regain their self-worth and confidence and eventually become productive citizens of the country and loving children of God"

Towards a Better Future

"Helping them start the inner healing process through various sel-enriching and Christ-centered activities prepares them to a brighter future ahead of them."
