What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

There is an empty place in the soul of every woman that longs to be filled with hope, love, acceptance, courage, and so much more. Worldwide, women face obstacles every day that have filled that place with destruction, pain, heartache, and hopelessness. In order to combat this challenge, DFM has chosen a holistic approach. Women of all ages are in need of support, encouragement, and equipping to face life's challenges. On a global scale women are dehumanized and seen as commodities to be bought and sold. This degradation means that women face challenges that are insurmountable alone. DFM meets women where they are and helps them to dream for more, to dare greatly for more, and to do more than they ever imagined possible. We are attacking the issues of poverty, abuse, and human trafficking internationally. We are also working with women in the US to help them find answers to their biggest issues.

Our programs

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Hearts & Hope Global Solutions

Our mission is to develop partnerships between communities in North America and communities where women and girls are abused and exploited in high risk places around the world. These partnerships work to rescue, restore, and provide prevention so these women can live in dignity, worth, and freedom.

Population(s) Served
Women and girls
Victims and oppressed people

The DFM speaking ministry is designed to help women be encouraged and equipped to face the challenges of life. Our team speaks at a variety of events. The style is both inspirational and motivational. We also stand as advocates for women in crisis. Reba speaks at events that educate and empower women regarding human trafficking, abuse, and poverty. Our goal is to help women engage to fight the darkness that encompasses the lives of so many women and girls.

Population(s) Served

If women are going to find success in life they must have a plan and a team. Designed to Thrive is a discipleship program created to fill both of these needs. Dare for More provides training opportunities for women to learn how to grow spiritually in a way that impacts their own lives and the lives of all those who are connected to them. Through small group connections, women develop a team that will support them and helps them as they strive to live a life that matters.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Our overall goals are to:

1. Pour courage into women of all ages worldwide by giving them encouragement, direction, hope, faith and love.

2. Mobilize women to help women in need.

3. Raise awareness of the problems women and girls face and provide solutions and strategies to solve those problems.

4. Strategically place Dare for More Training Centers around the globe to help women through rescue, restoration, and stability.

Our short-term goals are to:

1. Prepare training materials for women who cannot read and write.

2. Establish an entity in Guatemala that includes women's training centers and safe houses.

3. Raise awareness in North America by speaking and hosting events where attendees can learn about the needs, find out how they can get involved, and purchase free trade items made by women artisans around the world in order to provide for their families.

Empower local leaders to reach out to women and girls in their communities who are in desperate need of help and hope.

Equip community partners to assist those in need by addressing the whole person.

Address the complex causes of poverty including material, spiritual, emotional, social, economic, and educational needs.

Transform the lives of women and girls through a focus on sustainability, independence, and faith, so that they can become the person God designed them to be.

We have teams of women who are trained and experienced in teaching, training and providing solutions. These women travel worldwide to analyze needs, establish models, and provide support to see these initiative accomplished.

We have partners around the world who are reaching, rescuing and restoring women from abuse and exploitation.

We have partners in North America who create sustainability and future opportunities for those in need.

We have a plan for creating and maintaining sustainability for Dare for More so that we can continue to make a difference in the lives of women.

We have established a presence in the United States and we are reaching women and girls in this country.

Opportunities are increasing for sharing what we do and why we are doing it yearly and we are seeing more mobilization happen each year.

We have a strong presence in the Dominican Republic and have three solid partnerships there with DR Vision, LifeHouse Girls, and New Hope Girls.

We have a strong presence in Ndola, Zambia as we partner with WIPHAN, an educational organization for orphans and widows.

We have filled out our legal paperwork for an entity in Guatemala.

We are working on establishing a supply chain to North America for goods that are made by women who are thriving as a result of our partnerships. This will achieve sustainability for the outreach centers and the women who are making the products.
