ABOUT

BECAUSE organization (BECAUSE) is a non-profit social service and human rights organization that strives to support survivors of various forms of human trafficking. BECAUSE serves individuals who have fallen victim to human trafficking; particularly, survivors of the especially heinous sex trafficking. Many organizations aim at combatting the large-scale crime of human trafficking, but there are too few organizations that continue the work by providing rehabilitative aid to survivors, so that they may never fall back into the hands of traffickers again. These survivors of immense trauma need more than homeless or battered shelters to recover. Survivors need trauma-informed housing and programming in order to properly heal and rebuild their lives. BECAUSE strives to provide these trauma-informed services in the furtherance of supporting human trafficking survivors in becoming secure, empowered, and self-sufficient, once again.

OUR MISSION

BECAUSE strives to provide a safe and supportive environment for human trafficking survivors by offering reliable and consistent trauma-informed care.

Through compassionate and empowering support survivors of human trafficking will obtain the best chance of building a better, brighter, and more self-sufficient future for themselves.
