Matron Units
Providing Safe, Christ-Centered Housing for Students at risk of Abuse & Exploitation
In many countries, especially in rural areas, secondary schools are beyond walking distance for students wishing to continue their studies after primary (elementary) school. Students, girls in particular, desperate to continue their education, would seek housing near the school. Lacking money for even basic supplies like soap and toothpaste, evil men would offer financial aid in exchange for sexual favors. Female students are housed safely in dormitories designed for 22 girls each. Two matrons (graduates of TMI Bible Schools) provide structure, discipline, and a Christ-centered environment for the women under their care.
