The Issue

Thousands of women and girls from
our own neighborhoods are trafficked for sex every year. They are from all ethnic backgrounds and all parts of San Diego County.

Their human dignity is trampled
as traffickers use invisible chains of psychological manipulation and threats to keep control.

The trauma from these experiences can be intense and complex, and the road to healing long.

But evil does not get the last word.

In Christ,
​hope and restoration are possible!

Who We Are

Children of the Immaculate Heart (CIH) serves
survivors of sex trafficking throughout San Diego County. 

We provide services aimed at holistic healing - including individual counseling, case management, housing navigation assistance, employment support, education, and much more. 

Inspired and accompanied by our Mother Mary, we hope and work for the restoration of everyone - our clients, staff, and supporters - in Jesus Christ. 

What Survivors Have Said

“I’ve grown so much in this program. I don’t know where I would be without CIH, I’d be stuck. You guys give me hope.”
​“You're actually able to communicate with them without feeling so empty, alone or useless.”
“Children of the Immaculate Heart has given me every reason to not give up.”
