Doma International is an organization that empowers women and embraces children around the world through prevention, intervention, and long-term care.
Most of the children and families with which Doma have never had a home or a mom or a dad, or the homes they have known have been filled with abuse, neglect, anger, hostility, or pain.
Doma means home in several languages. Doma strives to redefine home.
By removing obstacles to peace, comfort, joy, and stability, Doma guides children and families toward wholeness, where they can enjoy an experience of home that is more complete than what they have known in life so far.
Doma embraces children by meeting basic living needs and supplying tools for emotional and spiritual health. Doma embraces children and young families with God's grace and the love of family.
Doma empowers women who have been victims of human trafficking and the sex trade. Doma walks alongside participants of Columbus' CATCH prostitution court, journeying with them as they bloom with God's hope and love!
