Spentem is a restorative approach to faith
and life that centers on positive self-image,
instead of condemnation.
We believe that system-affected people
don't just need jobs, or education, they
also need spirituality, financial autonomy
and a purpose-driven mission to help
others.
We believe that every human soul
has potential to be great,
sometimes we just need our
identities to be
restored.
Spentem believes in 'us'
and we're committed to
showing up for one another.
