Your gift today can change lives for generations.

When we impact a life today, it can change the trajectory of a family for generations. Ruth Harbor provides the opportunity for a young woman to change the course of her life and the life of her child.

  • "When God sends a mom to Ruth Harbor, He is sending us two lives to love and care for."

    — Carrie Leiran, Co-founder, Ruth Harbor Ministries

The journey out of poverty begins with one small step.

Ruth Harbor provides a phased process that gives a young woman the opportunity to free herself and her child from the shackles of poverty. It is not a quick journey—it can take five years or more—and it is not an easy journey, but together we can walk this journey with a mom and her child and make a real difference.

From the beginning we wanted a beautiful place of peace and rest, where a woman can grow and thrive in an environment without shame.”

— Jessica Dunker, Co-founder, Ruth Harbor Ministries

“Prayer is at the very core of Ruth Harbor. This ministry was birthed through prayer, survived, through prayer, and has made a difference because of prayer.”

— Becky Zemlicka,
Co-founder, Ruth Harbor Ministries
