We have employed over 180 women and have served thousands through our Community Outreach Services because of purchases made by wonderful partners like you. Thank you!

Each incredible woman who joins Starfish Project begins on our production line, receiving on-the-job training in jewelry production. Based on each woman's individual interests and gifting, she can then be trained in other roles at Starfish Project, including photography, design, sourcing, quality control, inventory management, administration and other management positions. Additionally, each woman has the opportunity to join our training program with classes in computer, literacy, math, life skills and health. Every woman has the opportunity to earn certification in Microsoft Word and Excel. Depending on her interests and her personal growth plan, she can choose to pursue additional training in English, entrepreneurship, accounting, photography, graphic design and even banking. The goal of our training program is to offer the women of Starfish the freedom to choose a career path they are passionate about and can be proud of.

Many of the women we meet on our weekly outreach have been tricked into working in the brothels, and it takes time for us to gain their trust. We have also found that, due to the emotional and physical abuse they have experienced, many of the women do not think it is possible to change their lives. They are often bound by a sense of shame and have resigned themselves to a life without hope. Through your purchases, we are able to make consistent visits that speak to each woman's value and build towards hope.

Most of the women who have come to work at Starfish Project are 18-25, although we have some woman in their 30s and 40s. We have met girls in the brothels as young as 12-years-old.

Our standard program is two years. After two years, we offer a housing allowance to empower the women of Starfish to live independently and take greater responsibility for their lives. Starfish Project is committed to long-term, ongoing employment for every woman, so we offer continued employment after they move out of the shelter. Every woman’s situation can vary according to her needs, but that is our typical track.

Yes! We are proud members of the Fair Trade Federation.

All revenue from jewelry sales goes back to our mission of restoring hope to trafficked women. We are a 501c3, and all funds help provide our holistic care and vocational training programs.

Yes, our Holistic Care and Vocational Training programs are supported by generous foundations and individuals. Our business costs including our women’s salaries are covered 100% by our jewelry sales. You can donate toward our Holistic Care program here. Your gift will directly impact the lives of trafficked women.

In order to protect the women we work with, and due to the sensitivity of the issue of exploitation, we are not able to disclose our location.
