The mission of the SAG3 non-profit organization is to minister and empower women and young adults in shelters and church organizations by using crocheting to re-establish traditions, values and importance of family in our community. The mission will be accomplished through lectures, mentoring and crafts in these six specific programs:


  • Mentoring to young men and women in shelters or in church homes that are physically and mentally scared by the affects of domestic violence
  • Mentoring to women in shelters that are escaping abusive homes
  • Teaching the art of crocheting to re-establish the family unit and the development of a therapuetic method of dealing with loss
  • Teaching values that are passed down through the African American Culture and mentoring a since of belonging
  • Giving women the ability to look pass what seems impossible, to what they can accomplish with knowledge 
  • Distribution and donation of scarves, hats and throws for women that embrace the mission of the SAG3 Organization and to homeless men and women that are without family because of abuse 
Statistics About Domestic Violence and Homeless in Texas
'
Domestic Violence has become a nationwide epidemic, and the statistics we face are astounding:
  • 1 in 4 women will know domestic violence in her lifetime
  • 1 in 3 teenage girls will be physically assaulted by a boyfriend
  • Domestic violence is the leading predictor of child abuse
  • 50% of girls growing up in an abusive home will go on to be victims of abuse themselves

The Dallas area is certainly not immune to this epidemic. The Dallas Police Department receives 20,000 calls regarding domestic violence each year yet, there are fewer than 150 safe shelter beds available each night. This is an equal opportunity epidemic, plaguing homes in all segments of the Metroplex-–it knows no racial, ethnic, socioeconomic, or educational boundaries.

While these statistics are startling, domestic violence is one public health epidemic that is completely preventable. We know that if violence can be learned, it can be unlearned. Women and children faced with this unspeakable violence need a safe haven to heal from the abuse they have experienced and time to learn that hands are not for hitting and words are not for hurting.
