Getting out of danger matters. But for many survivors, safety is only the beginning of recovery.
The effects of trauma can continue long after the immediate danger has passed. Recovery may involve counselling, legal support, education, livelihoods, family support and time.
That is why trauma-informed care looks beyond the immediate crisis. It supports survivors to rebuild safety, confidence and independence, while recognising that recovery is different for every person.
At Hagar, we believe support needs to keep showing up.
Recovery takes time. And long-term support matters.

Recovery is built in everyday moments. In caring for a child, tending animals, learning new skills and creating a more secure future, healing becomes part of daily life.

Hagar’s whole-journey approach supports people not only to reach safety, but to rebuild confidence, independence and hope.

A place at one of Hagar’s centres is more than a seat in a room.
It means safety. Counselling. Training. A place to learn, rebuild confidence and begin looking forward again.

In Afghanistan, where girls have so few opportunities available to them, this is a genuine way to keep helping.

$150 can provide one girl with three weeks of safety, counselling and training.

Help us reach one more girl.

There are only 50 places across Hagar’s two centres in Kabul.

That means every place matters.

Every place is a chance for a girl to access safety, counselling and training in a country where opportunities for girls are already so limited.

$150 can provide one girl with three weeks of support.

We can not reach every girl. But together, we can reach one more.

In Afghanistan, opportunities for girls are already painfully limited.

Hagar has found a way to keep reaching girls through two centres in Kabul, providing safety, counselling and training in a place where those opportunities are becoming harder to find.

But there are only 50 places.

There are always more girls than there is room.

If you can, help us make it possible to reach one more.

Healing does not happen all at once. It takes safety, time, support and people who keep showing up. 💛

At Hagar, we walk alongside survivors through the whole journey, from immediate safety and recovery to rebuilding confidence, independence and hope.

If you would like to help make that long-term support possible, you can support Hagar NZ here:

Progress on the Modern Slavery Bill has stalled and we are calling on the Government to pass the Modern Slavery Bill before the election.

The Bill has strong cross-party support and most MPs have backed the Bill.
This legislation helps to protect people exploited to produce the goods and services we buy and use every day. Their dignity and freedom demand action.

@ , your government can give this Bill the priority it needs to pass into law before Parliament rises.

Do not let the clock run out on modern slavery legislation.

Stand with us. Share this open letter. Add your voice. Urge the Government to finish the job.�

“I am a brave person.”

For Kunthea*, being able to say those words meant something. After experiencing abuse, she had lived with fear and struggled to trust the people around her.

Her foster family gave her time. They learned how to support her, listened when things were difficult and helped her feel that she belonged. Alongside Hagar’s counselling and care, everyday family life became part of her recovery.

There were chickens to look after, meals to make together and friends to walk to school with. And there was a dream: becoming a science teacher.

“Now I feel safe, I enjoy my family.”

Kunthea’s story is about more than what happened to her. It is about who she is, the people who stayed beside her and the future she wants for herself.

💚 Read her full story: https://hagar.org.nz/kuntheas-bravery/

*Kunthea is a pseudonym used to protect her identity. Her story was recorded when she was 11 years old.

Recovery begins with connection.
For survivors of trafficking, slavery and abuse, healing often starts when someone is no longer facing the journey alone.
Through safe relationships, trusted care and practical support, survivors can begin to rebuild safety, dignity, confidence and hope.
Hagar walks alongside survivors through the whole journey, from crisis to long-term recovery.

A safe space can change the direction of a girl’s life.
In Afghanistan, opportunities for girls are increasingly limited. Hagar is continuing to create spaces where girls can feel safe, receive support, learn new skills and begin rebuilding confidence in what their future can hold.

Right now, our two centres in Kabul can support just 50 girls. Your donation can help keep these spaces open and make it possible for the next girl to have a place too.

Donate today: www.hagar.org.nz/spring-appeal

💛 Help keep a safe space open.
