Zaraphina House of Hope

I am beginning a non-profit for trafficked (human slavery) children because when I traveled to India at the age of 13, I heard of children the ages of 5, 6 and 7 being trafficking which were the ages of my sisters, at the time. I will not forget them or leave them forever behind.

Vision: Provide a safe haven where purity and destiny is restored to child trafficking survivors.

Core Values: Empowerment, Sustainability, Destiny, Community, Integrity, Honor, Grace

Dream: Education, Life Skills, Work & Therapy Home Plus a Debrief and Arts Staff Center

Zaraphina: Zara means a blooming flower, star, radiance, and zealous love. Phin in Hindi means first.

Hope: a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen. (google)

I want all children to feel like they are top priority and are given a second chance to flourish, dream big and work hard in a safe place!

Currently, I’ve started a personal fundraiser for travels and living costs in India for the next two years to gain connection with the community and learn the language/culture. Please, email me if you would be interested in being a monthly sponsor or receive email updates. Contributions can be made to GoFundMe or email me @ desiredonephotography5@gmail.com to send by Venmo or Paypal.

Human Trafficking Facts:  

• 24.9 million people are victims of forced labor including forced sexual exploitation (safehorizon.org)

• The average age a teen enters the sex trade in the US is 12 to 14 years old (dosomething.org)

• Estimates suggest that, internationally, only about .04% survivors of human trafficking cases are identified, meaning that the vast majority of cases of human trafficking go undetected (dosomething.org)

• Human trafficking earns global profits of roughly $150 billion a year for traffickers, $99 billion of which comes from commercial sexual exploitation (dosomething.org)
