What’s Happening Now
Will You Help Stock Our New Library?
This June, our third campus at John Foundation will welcome high school students who are eager to learn, grow, and imagine new possibilities for their futures. Classrooms are nearly ready, but the library shelves are still waiting.
We are just $1,700 away from filling them with books on history, science, geography, space, and storybooks for younger children.
For many of these students, this library will be more than a room with books. It will be a doorway to opportunity.
Will you help us place these books into their hands?
Please indicate “Library Books” in the notes with your donation. We are so grateful.
I Was Born in a Brothel. I just got into Columbia.
Our partner, Kranti, has been sharing stories from their team and from the young ladies they support.
Read Mahek’s full story HERE.
My first classroom was not in a school. It was a brothel.
I was born in Kamathipura, India’s oldest red-light area, to a mother who was a sex worker. In that environment, learning happened informally and often harshly, especially through watching, listening and surviving. By the time I was ten, my mother had died, my sister and I had escaped sexual enslavement, and we arrived at Kranti, the only place that has ever felt like family.
Krantikaris
The girls at Kranti span from elementary school age to young adulthood.
Every morning, the older girls help the young ones get ready for school – dressed, fed, and set for the day ahead.
The loving care and tenderness that goes into preparing the girls for the day is heartwarming. One of them caught this adorable photo just as the young ones were about to head out the door.
WE BELIEVE EVERYONE DESERVES TO BE FREE AND SAFE.
That’s why we provide:

Wholesale With Purpose
We learned that we can make faster progress toward our mission through revenue that we reinvest in our cause. So, we partner with wholesalers, distributors and corporations that want to “do good” by selling apparel and accessories hand-crafted by women we support who choose tailoring as their profession.
