Our Demeaned to Dignity program is more than a learning stack. It is a full wrap-around program that supports kids and young adults in the most need with the services that will keep them alive along with the education that will allow them to thrive. Specifically we are targeting kids who are at extreme risk of becoming involved in crime, prostitution, or being a victim of human trafficking.
We are now starting to work with Koinonia Family Services to bring personalized training and mentorship to California foster children who are most at-risk. Where the wrap-around services are already being provided by Koinonia, and we provide our innovative education on a personalized scale.
We also are serving girls in the Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh. After fleeing genocide in Myanmar, they sought refuge in Bangladesh and India. But the camps they are in are basically internment camps, where they cannot leave, cannot legally work, and have no citizenship from any country, so they are stuck in a stateless limbo. This leaves very few options for them, but one that unfortunately too many girls feel they must take, is to "sell their bodies". Although, to be clear, this is basically putting themselves up to be raped daily because they feel they have no other options.
Our work is stopping these young girls from being demeaned, and instead supporting them to learn education that can provide them remote work from within the camps using the smartphones that are available.
