Our Purpose
At Starfish Project, we help exploited women and girls experience freedom, establish independence and develop careers.
The Starfish Parable
One day, an old man was walking along a beach that was littered with thousands of starfish that had been washed ashore by the high tide. As he walked he came upon a young boy who was eagerly throwing the starfish back into the ocean, one by one.
Puzzled, the man looked at the boy and asked what he was doing. Without looking up from his task, the boy simply replied, “I’m saving these starfish, Sir”.
The old man chuckled aloud, “Son, there are thousands of starfish and only one of you. What difference can you make?”
The boy picked up a starfish, gently tossed it into the water and turning to the man, said,
“I made a difference to that one!”
EXPERIENCE FREEDOM
Every week, we visit brothels and invite women and girls to experience freedom from their lives in the sex industry.
ESTABLISH INDEPENDENCE
We equip exploited women and girls with the tools they need to build an independent life through our holistic care programs and life skills training.
DEVELOP CAREERS
We provide specialized vocational training to help the women develop careers in fields such as design, photography and accounting.
