Giving
Since 2015, we have proudly donated over $140,000 to organizations fighting human trafficking and supporting at-risk communities around the world. Giving back has always been a core part of our brand's mission, driven by our founder Jen Hansen's vision of using business as a force for good. Through a mix of company profits, personal contributions, and a commitment to raising awareness, we aim to address human trafficking with a comprehensive approach: rescue operations, survivor care, and preventive education. By partnering with expert organizations such as Her Future Coalition, Fullness In Christ, Red Oak Hope, and International Justice Mission, we strive to create lasting change in the lives of individuals and communities affected by trafficking.
OUR GIVING IMPACT
Each year, we prioritize initiatives that align with our core mission of empowering vulnerable individuals and communities. Below are a few of our primary partners and the impact of our contributions. While these are some of our highlighted partnerships, we have supported a range of organizations dedicated to this cause.
-
Her Future Coalition: We have contributed a total of $30,000 to Her Future Coalition, an organization that provides education and vocational training to women and children affected by trafficking in South Asia. Our donations have helped fund critical projects like the Freedom School in Ghyangfidi, Nepal, which opened in 2020. The Freedom School serves as both an educational institution and a trafficking prevention program. Located in a remote and impoverished area with a high risk of trafficking, this school provides 300 children per year with high-quality education from kindergarten through 10th grade, including a dormitory for girls at immediate risk. By providing education and resources directly within the community, the Freedom School aims to prevent trafficking at its roots, breaking cycles of exploitation and poverty for generations to come.
Additionally, $15,000 of our contributions went toward Her Future Coalition’s Red Light Resource Centers in Kolkata, India. These centers offer education, vocational training, and employment programs, along with free childcare and safe shelter, to over 250 women and children in two red-light districts. Through their employment programs, the Centers provide training in jewelry design and fabrication, equipping women with skills and support to earn a livelihood outside of prostitution. This program empowers women to overcome extreme poverty and social stigma, enabling them to support their children and secure a sustainable future. The jewelry program is a comprehensive pathway to independence and dignity, training and employing survivors as professionals and entrepreneurs, giving them a chance to leave poverty and exploitation behind forever.
-
Red Oak Hope: With $4,000 donated to Red Oak Hope, we have supported their holistic approach to combat human trafficking, which includes prevention, intervention, and restoration. Red Oak Hope operates in some of the most vulnerable regions in the world, providing immediate aid to individuals in crisis while also developing long-term programs to support recovery and empowerment. Their initiatives focus on building community resilience, offering resources that promote safe, sustainable futures, and addressing the structural issues that allow trafficking to persist.
-
International Justice Mission (IJM): We have donated $9,850 to IJM’s anti-trafficking and rehabilitation efforts worldwide, supporting both immediate rescue operations and ongoing survivor care. Our contributions include a $6,850 "Freedom Package" that provides a comprehensive response to trafficking cases, from rescuing victims to offering trauma-informed counseling and aftercare support. IJM's approach ensures that survivors receive the services they need to heal, rebuild, and pursue new opportunities. Additionally, IJM partners with local authorities to bring traffickers to justice and strengthens justice systems to prevent future exploitation.
-
Fullness In Christ: In partnership with Fullness In Christ, we are sponsoring the education of children in the Philippines who are at risk of poverty and trafficking. Through this ongoing support, children receive access to quality education and regular meals, creating a foundation of stability that prevents trafficking and promotes community development. Education is one of the most effective tools in combating human trafficking, and by investing in children’s futures, we are helping break cycles of vulnerability and exploitation.
CURRENT FOCUS
Our current focus is on supporting Her Future Coalition’s Freedom School, located in Ghyangfidi, Nepal. This new school serves as a trafficking prevention program in a rural area with an alarmingly high rate of trafficking to neighboring countries. Since opening, the school has provided over 300 children each year with high-quality education and a safe, supportive environment. Additionally, the project includes a dormitory for girls from distant villages who are at immediate risk of being trafficked. Beyond educating children, the Freedom School engages the entire community through awareness workshops for parents and community members, helping them become advocates against trafficking. By addressing the underlying causes of trafficking through education and community engagement, we’re creating a foundation for lasting change. .
