We invite women and girls in brothels to experience freedom from their lives in the sex industry.

We equip exploited women and girls with the tools they need to build an independent life through our holistic care programs and life skills training.

We provide specialized vocational training to help the women develop future careers in fields such as graphic design, photography and accounting.

“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

What is a work day like at Starfish Project?

Our Production Team is made up of women who assemble, inspect, and package the jewelry. Every woman coming in from a brothel usually starts on the Production Team. Here is their daily schedule!

The work day at Starfish Project starts at 8:30am. When the day begins, each person in production receives a specific task from our Production Manager, like counting out beads or attaching clasps. They work to fulfill the task on time. Then our Production Manager and Quality Control Manager check the quality and quantity of the products produced. At 11am, everyone breaks for Team Building Time, during which we have different workshops and activities. From 12-1pm, we break for lunch. In the afternoon, everyone returns to work in production. Each person has at least an hour of class a day (math, literacy, English or computers), in which they leave production and go to our vocational training room for their class. From 3-3:15pm there is a short break, and then everyone leaves for the day at 5:30pm.

The Production room is full of talking and giggling. It is so fun to watch the women arrive from a brothel and transform their lives in this space. For many of them, the Starfish Project workroom is the first safe workspace they’ve ever known. We are overjoyed to get to watch them experience freedom, establish independence, and develop careers.

A formerly exploited woman learned how to take product photography like this. Every ring at Starfish Project helps exploited women develop careers. These photos are some of the first that June took that went on the Starfish Project website. 📸
This week June has been taking photos of new staff in our headquarters office. June has grown a lot in her photography skills! She started off with learning product photography last year and is now responsible for taking all of the product photos on our website. This past spring she even shot the model photos for our spring and summer collections! As she took the staff photos this week it was amazing to see how confident and comfortable she was, and how she spoke with authority in her role as a photographer.

Because of your support, women like June get to experience freedom, establish independence, and develop careers at Starfish Project.

“What an exciting day! My heart is in full celebration mode! We’ve had two sisters leave their shop and join Starfish Project today! Its like Christmas in my heart! We’ve visited, listened to, laughed with these women and now they are here! They’ve seen and experienced hope and take this huge, scary leap with us! I feel so honored to be a part of their journey to freedom and so proud that they have found the strength to make this decision. •

Being an American from the south, when something good happens, I bake. Today I was so excited to deliver a delicious, warm banana nut bread to the two sisters who just left their shop and joined us. As I sat with them today, they were so filled with joy and excitement as they said, “Everyone here is so nice and caring. Its like one big loving family. All day if I’ve need anything, there is always someone who is actually happy to help me! It is like it’s their job to help me and care for us!” It is so wonderful to see the women in our office come together to love and care for these new women. This is what it’s all about!” •

That is the reflection our Outreach Manager wrote last night after two women joined Starfish Project. Outreach Teams visit brothels every week to form relationships and it’s so exciting when women finally decide to join Starfish Project. We get to offer them a job making jewelry because of your jewelry orders. Thanks for being part of their Stories of Hope.
