A Clinic for Erring Girls - The Berachah Industrial Home for Erring Girls opened in May 1903. It is estimated the Home cared for around 3000 women during its 32 years of operation. The Home expanded to cover 67 acres with 19 buildings: a clinic, nursery, dormitory, dining hall, printshop, handkerchief factory, chapel, office building and graveyard. Today the only “structure” remaining on the property is the fence surrounding the graveyard.

The clinic was built to assist with the delivery of babies and the care of the mothers and infants. Records indicate it was a well appointed facility and that the majority of women and babies thrived. To receive help from the Home, the girls had to promise to keep and raise their child no matter the reason for its conception.
