LWML MITE CHALLENGE
September 2025-2027 Mission Grant No. 8
Building A Place of Care
Dakota Boys and Girls Ranch | $60,000

Creating a Healing Space
The Dakota Boys and Girls Ranch in Minot, North Dakota, serves children, ages 7-18, who experience severe psychiatric, emotional, behavioral, and/or developmental challenges due to the trauma of abuse, neglect, addiction, violence, sexual exploitation, and human trafficking. With the money from this grant the Ranch will build and furnish the Reflection Room which will serve as a safe and calming environment to support the emotional!, spiritual, and psychological well-being of the children and the staff. The doorway to Gospel-centered healing for a child begins with an environment that communicates love while consistently meeting their most basic needs for safety and shelter.
