Creating Employment Opportunities
Good Ground Coffee Company is the brainchild of two Messiah University students who asked to partner with us in their vision for a coffee shop designed to employ and teach job skills to trafficking survivors. They presented us with their business plan and also entered it into their school's Impact Venture Challenge competition and won! The judges loved it as much as we did, and we can't wait to partner with these ladies!
Economic Empowerment
Founded in 2008, Peace Promise understands the unique and complex problem of trafficking. Unlike Hollywood's depictions of abducted women, trafficking often looks much less like a gun to the head than an exploitation of vulnerabilities. Finding gainful employment is one of the largest vulnerabilities our women face.
