Over 40 million people around the world today are victims of human trafficking, and most of those victims are women.  Thankfully, efforts to rescue victims of human trafficking have steadily risen recently, but 80% of those rescued from trafficking will be re-trafficked if they do not have safe employment opportunities.SutiSana offers empowering employment in a healing-centered environment to survivors of human trafficking in Bolivia.



 

 

 

While visiting the red light district in El Alto, Bolivia, one of the women we’d befriended expressed that she felt trapped by the lack of employment opportunities. She confronted us one day: “When are you going to give me a job?” SutiSana was founded in 2010 for that friend and so many women like her. We exist as a freedom business that fights trafficking and sexual exploitation by offering new and abundant life for our artisans.




Most SutiSana artisans speak both Spanish and the indigenous language of Aymara. In Aymara, “Suti” means name. In Spanish “Sana” means healed. As a woman leaves a trafficking situation, she often adopts a new name as part of her healed identity.
