Every woman is worth a second beginning.

Our story

Born from lived experience.

In March 2018, A Woman's Worth Project was birthed by Nerika Jenkins out of her own experience with incarceration — and her graduation from college. She knew firsthand the obstacles women face coming home, and knew it was her destiny to change them.

We help women financially, socially, and spiritually — through mental health counseling, post-incarceration therapy, domestic and sexual violence recovery, and life and professional skills. Because stable housing is a proven intervention that reduces recidivism and costs far less than a prison bed, we are committed to providing a safe, supportive house for every woman returning home.

We believe all women can embrace who they are, define their future, and change the world.
