Welcome to Pharaoh’s Daughter, a ministry of hope and transformation for imprisoned mothers and their children. Our organization stands at the crossroads of compassion and action, dedicated to making a meaningful impact in the lives of those often overlooked by society.
There are nearly 100 babies born to incarcerated women in North Carolina every year. What happens to these babies? This was a question Pharaoh’s Daughter founder, Susan Henson, asked in 2010. What she found out changed the trajectory of her life and was the beginning of Pharaoh’s Daughter. Currently, in North Carolina the choices for where these children go are limited. Most go to the already overwhelmed foster-care system, the remainder are taken in by a relative who is pressed into service. Once released, these justice-involved mothers find it nearly impossible to gain stability quickly enough to create a healthy and safe environment for their child(ren). Pharaoh’s Daughter walks beside these moms through all the challenges of being pregnant and incarcerated. From safe newborn placement, to transitioning out of prison and reentry wrap-around services.
1. Mission: Helping justice-involved mothers keep their children.
2. Vision: Every justice-impacted family living free of the entrapments of poverty, addiction, incarceration, and recidivism.
3. Niche: Working with imprisoned mothers and their babies before, during, and after incarceration.
Furthermore, our dedicated team of volunteers and professionals brings a wealth of expertise and compassion to our cause. Our unwavering commitment ensures that every mother feels seen, heard, and supported throughout her journey. We pride ourselves on creating a nurturing environment where families can heal, grow, and thrive together.
