Year of Giving

We all spend hundreds of dollars in gifts each year.  Why not also save a life through your gift-giving?!  The Year of Giving Club is Made By Survivors’ newest program - enabling our supporters to help women build safe, slavery-proof lives, while enjoying and giving inspiring products Made By Survivors.

This membership also includes tax-deductible donations for two very important programs - a Training Sponsorship to help a survivor transform her life, and a donation to help launch our new Survivor Health Fund  

Through special reports and updates on how your donation is used, you will share in the joy and satisfaction of watching survivors recover from trauma and build their own bright futures!

Employment and economic empowerment is a crucial part of fighting slavery and slavery-proofing survivors and their children.  That is why your Level Three membership includes a six month training scholarship and tools for a survivor in one of our three Jewelry Centers ($300 donation) enabling her to move from poverty and extreme stigmatization to a highly respected profession.  You will receive the trainee’s photo, bio and project updates, and best of all - a custom jewelry piece made for you by one of our survivor-goldsmiths!

Health Care Fund:  survivors struggle with health issues resulting from years of neglect and abuse.  Some have HIV/AIDS or tuberculosis, some require surgery or ongoing treatment for reproductive issues, burns, orthopedic injuries, malnutrition and other problems.  Whenever possible, we pay for treatment out of our general budget, or ‘pass the hat’ around our staff and core volunteers when emergencies arise.  We have long seen the need for an emergency health fund to draw on whenever a survivor in our program or a partner program needs health care.  Your Level Three Membership includes a $100 donation to help launch the new fund.  We will send a report at the end of the year explaining how the funds were used to help survivors.
