The Issue
Human trafficking is a global crisis, and our response should be as wide-reaching as the need. Worthwhile Wear utilizes a multi pronged approach to address this growing issue. We provide vocational training and employment through the making of Worthwhile Wear apparel with our overseas partners. In the US, our programs provide for the need of long-term housing for survivors of human trafficking through The Well, community outreach and empowerment through the Worth It program, and employment through our Worthwhile Thrift store.
Global
Human Trafficking is a significant issue in all countries. In many developing countries, families and girls are lured into the false hope of earning income through a job offer given by a trafficker. We address this common trafficking tactic by eliminating the root cause and offering survivors vocational training and employment through Worthwhile Wear Apparel.
Local
In order to provide an effective response in our community, Worthwhile Wear established The Well as a residential safe house where trafficked survivors can work through trauma and rebuild their lives both physically and emotionally. We also offer survivors the opportunity to receive care and training through our Worth It program and get connected to other local service providers.
Sustainable
The challenge for all non-profits is creating a model that is financially sustainable, allowing for long-term success. Worthwhile Wear seeks sustainable solutions by operating its store, Worthwhile Thrift, which is run as a traditional thrift store offering gently used clothes and home items for a fraction of the cost.
