In urban communities like the Tenderloin, women and girls encounter unique obstacles that perpetuate a cycle of isolation. Poverty and exploitation prevent women and girls from dreaming of a better future, and the needs of these women and girls are consistently unseen and underserved.
We are here to change that.
We believe lasting change comes through love.
Through relationships, we remind women, girls, and whole families of their true and intrinsic value, develop creative skills to stop cycles of poverty and violence, and highlight new possibilities for growth and change.
BJM has been present and invested in the Tenderloin and other under-resourced communities for more than 16 years.
