We are fundraising to provide long term shelter for victims in our care!
We are thrilled to be able to help victims all over the state of California as well as other locations such as Texas, Hawaii, and Missouri! We do not say "no" to any victim that needs our help and we are proud to be a survivor led organization. We strive to create a safe space for all victims to feel accepted, understood and believed. Our organization is built upon the passion and expertise of those who are willing to help restore the lives of sex trafficking victims. We walk alongside survivors through their trauma recovery, offering hope and resources to recover from the life. Our goal is to not have victims feel like they're just surviving but actually thriving.
There are currently no long-term housing facilities in California specifically for sex trafficking victims. The facilities in the state that do exist cater to various types of victims, which can make it difficult for sex trafficking survivors to feel understood and supported. This lack of understanding and support often leads victims to return to the life of sex trafficking. Our proposed project aims to address this issue by purchasing and operating a support facility dedicated to housing and helping victims of sex trafficking. This facility would be the first of its kind in the state and would provide long-term housing for victims to focus on their recovery and wellness from the trauma.
The plan is for Arukah Project to purchase and convert this facility into a code-compliant space that offers victims comfort and support as they confront their trauma. The property includes classroom space, intake offices, a pool for water therapy, a gym for movement therapy, and areas for hikes, walks, meditation, and self-care. Additionally, it features a commercial kitchen for teaching basic cooking skills and a standard room for socializing and visits from loved ones. This is a unique opportunity and the next step in the growth and continued positive impact that the Arukah Project team can make by providing various forms of therapy to treat each victim's mind, body, and spirit. You can help us create this amazing space by donating today!
