Inadequate education, sexual violence, and teenage pregnancy are directly linked to cycles of poverty throughout South America. Su Refugio’s EQUIP program in Paraguay empowers vulnerable women and teenagers by providing vocational training, certification, and biblical instruction.

The program fosters a supportive community where participants experience God's transformative love and gain tools to pursue freedom from spiritual and physical poverty.
