What they do
ART WORKS FOR CHANGE IMPLEMENTED THE TRUE STORIES PROJECT OVER A 7 MONTH PERIOD AT GIRLS INC IN OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA AND WITH OUR PARTNER GROUP, SIDDHARTHA FOUNDATION IN KATHMANDU, NEPAL. WE USED ART ACTIVITIES WITH ADOLESCENT BOYS AND GIRLS AND WOMEN WHO HAD BEEN SURVIVORS OF SEX TRAFFICKING OR AT RISK FOR EXPLOITATION TO HELP THEM HEAL AND FIND THEIR VOICE. THE PROJECT EVOLVED INTO A CONTEMPORARY ART EXHIBITION THAT WILL OPEN AT THE PATAN MUSEUM IN KATHMANDU IN 2017. THE INTENT OF THE PROJECT WAS TO CREATE AWARENESS OF THE ROOT CAUSES OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND CHILDREN; FOSTER EMPATHY FOR THEIR STORIES; AND BRING THE PROBLEM OF EXPLOITATION AND SEX TRAFFICKING TO THE LIGHT. THE OFTEN SILENCED AND SOMETIMES UNCOMFORTABLE ISSUES ADDRESSED ARE MEANT TO SPARK DIALOGUE AND CATALYZE ACTION.

Money made simple

- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
