Eliza’s Helping Hands is a Winston-Salem-based minority-women-led non-profit focused on advocating and serving men, women, and children affected by domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, and other violent crimes.
Since 2015, we have advocated for social equality in legal justice, access to health care, economic and educational opportunities. We support all communities but make sure we are serving those communities that are often unserved such as the Black American, Immigrant, and Indigenous Communities. However, we never discriminate against anyone regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation. We believe that we must work and come together as a community to provide access to quality services and support for the residents of Forsyth and surrounding counties.
We are also committed to educating and training future students from local universities who have a shared interest in social work, law, and human-related fields.
We work alongside these organizations and government agencies to advocate for the well-being of every person seeking assistance.

The PEARLS Program stands for Preparing Eager Achievers to Redirect their Lives Successfully, and is centered around young women of color between the ages of 12 – 18, who have experienced personal trauma, disenfranchisement, or need an extra layer of support or empowerment. The goal of the program is to improve the quality of life for our PEARLS through holistic support, counseling, workshops, activities, and overall fellowship for participants to improve social, emotional and career development opportunities. Through various activities, we also hope to introduce and expose the girls to new experience and growth opportunities that they may not have experienced or had access to.
