About Esperanza! A Woman’s Hope
A 501(c)(3) charitable non-profit organization, Esperanza! A Woman’s Hope http://www.esperanza-awomanshope.org was created by its founder in response to the impact of domestic violence on her life while married and attending college. This organization seeks to serve and give back to women who have experienced battering and abuse.
Esperanza! A Woman’s Hope helps survivors of domestic violence by providing scholarships for job skills upgrade. “Better paying jobs in healthy career tracks demonstrating a positive economic outlook not only financially empower survivors but enrich the lives of their children. This contributes to safer, stabile neighborhoods for all concerned,” comments Phyllis Walker, the organization’s founder, whose life was impacted by domestic violence during her marriage while attending college during the 1970s. “Many women return to their abusive environments as a result of anxiety generated by financial stress and economic need. When they have to rely on minimum-waged jobs for support, they can’t pay for quality child-care services or meet many basic needs that most of us take for granted. They make a decision to chance it, but once a battered woman returns to her abuser, the violence begins in a vicious new cycle. Women can become disabled and handicapped, or even lose their lives as a result. At Esperanza! A Woman’s Hope, we want to build our scholarship fund so that we can help more survivors while offering additional programs to empower women to step forward, lead and thrive!”
“The word, Esperanza! means Hope! This word conveys the very heart, the soul, and the inner voice of Hope that every abused woman carries within her spirit! At Esperanza! A Woman’s Hope, our goal is to celebrate the journey toward success! When survivors move forward, they sparkle and soar!”
