A FRESH START FOR WOMEN RESCUED FROM THE SEX TRADE
As women work their way through the one year-long restorative program with our partner Ellilta - Women at Risk, they are trained in a trade or job that can be a viable alternative to their former life of prostitution. As each woman gets closer to graduation, they know they will depart the program with a skill that can generate income to support herself and her child(children). Staff social workers will follow-up with the women for 6 months after beginning their new job/ business.
The women come into the program in 2 groups of approximately 20. They overlap mid-year. Assuming 17-20 women complete the program, Arukah Global looks to fund at least 10 of these women. The average cost of business start-up is $550 per woman.
2024 funding objective B: $5500
Business start-up Fund: Business start-up cost for graduated women (average $400 per woman)
