“I can think of a million reasons why I support Starfish Project. Sure – Starfish sells stylish, affordable jewelry that I love to wear. However, it gives so much more back to the women who made the jewelry. It provides hope to women who have had every reason to lose hope. It gives the women a safe home, an opportunity to learn, and a rejuvenated life. Each time I order from Starfish Project,I know that the company is able to transform another life.”

– Jamie, Tennessee

“I ordered 2 rings. They came super fast and they are beautiful! I am gifting them but tempted to keep them. I was lucky to get them; they are now sold out! I appreciated the heartfelt note to where my money was going. I will be making another purchase and I’m thankful for what you are doing for these women and children.”

– Stacey, Vermont

The Meaning Behind the Name: The Starfish Parable
One day, an old man was walking along a beach that was littered with thousands of starfish that had been washed ashore by the high tide. As he walked he came upon a young boy who was eagerly throwing the starfish back into the ocean, one by one.

Puzzled, the man looked at the boy and asked what he was doing. Without looking up from his task, the boy simply replied, “I’m saving these starfish, Sir”. The old man chuckled aloud, “Son, there are thousands of starfish and only one of you. What difference can you make?” The boy picked up a starfish, gently tossed it into the water and turning to the man, said,
“I made a difference to that one!”

When CiCi was young she was trafficked by a friend into working at a brothel. Today, she is pursuing a professional English certification at Starfish Project! You can help CiCi achieve her goal by contributing toward her tuition and a computer she can use for her class.

You can also read her full Story of Hope below:
When I was young, I was tricked into a brothel by a friend. When I heard about Starfish Project and the opportunities they provided, I decided to work there. I am a single mom and I live in the shelter.

I have some background in handling raw materials because I used to help manage a materials store. So, at Starfish Project, my job is to manage all the raw materials and to attend business trips with suppliers. I am always very happy when the materials we order come in with no quality problems.

I have learned a lot through working here. Everyone is different and I strongly believe learning to accept other people’s flaws is very important. I like that I am able to get along with my coworkers. If I have any problems, I feel comfortable seeking their guidance. They are kind and give me advice like they are my sisters and help me grow.

I am currently studying English and I am taking classes in administration and courses through Wall Street English training. My goal is to complete all 4 levels of the certification tests through the Wall Street English training.
