Peace House
The dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation ® and local
partners began a construction project in 2018 to
build a new shelter in Park City, Utah, for survivors of
domestic violence in Summit and Wasatch counties.
The Peace House will be a secure facility including
eight emergency housing shelter units with flexible
configurations to accommodate families of various sizes.
Twelve self-sufficient suites will also allow longer-term
occupancy of 6–24 months as needed. This new facility
will quadruple the number of housing units from the
15 that are currently available, to 60 at the new Peace
House facility.
The Peace House will not only provide lodging for
domestic abuse survivors, but also support services
including a support group room, a childcare center, a
Peace Room, a classroom, an outdoor courtyard, and
a client boutique where residents can obtain clothes,
shoes, and other essential items donated by the local
community. This construction project is scheduled to be
completed in the spring of 2019.

Construction began on the G.S.
Mére du Verbe Kibeho School
update project in Rwanda in 2018.
While additional campus areas will
be renovated, this construction
project is focused mainly on the
two dormitories that will house
the students as they pursue their
education at this Rwanda school.
In December, Days for Girls reusable
feminine hygiene kits, calculators,
and backpacks were donated for
students of this school.
In addition the dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation is funding, in part,
the donation of 300 wheelchairs to disabled children in Rwanda with the
organization Angel Rider. The wheelchairs are designed to navigate rough
and uneven terrain, and will benefit the Murama and Kabare sectors in the
Kayonza district of Rwanda.
