The Offspring Project - Every Life is Worth Fighting For
The Offspring Project is a Geelong not-for-profit organisation founded by Geelong women Kristi, when she saw the need to create a safe space for women and children who have been victims of human trafficking. Kristi recognised she needed to do something to help women and children bought, sold, traded and stripped of the most basic human rights. Abused and treated as a commodity, rather than a dignified human being; someone’s daughter (offspring), sister and friend.
The Offspring Project from their bases in Geelong is a team of good-hearted people working towards a world free of trafficking, and a world where the victims can be healed. And we at Jade and May, know that we want to be part of that healing in anyway we can.
The Offspring Project peices are created in a mid-way house in Kolkata, India that is not only a safe haven for rescued women and children, but a space that teaches each and every survivor in the centre to learn new skills and enable them to create their own new path to follow. In a life they choose to live in.
Through vocational training, employment, health check ups, life & money-skills, safety and support these victims can slowly begin to change the path their lives can take. But it takes time and money and we are honoured to offer a range of products from The Offspring Project that have been made by hand by these brave survivors, with each stitch full of love, hope and healing
