When you choose hope, anything is possible. When Eden Outreach team discovered a new red light district in the city, they were shocked at how young the girls looked.

From her hiding place behind a car, one of these young women locked eyes with a team member. Enzali had been looking for a job at the bus station when a rickshaw driver said he could employ her as a masseuse. Instead, he took her to a brothel where she was trapped for seven months. We gave her an exit strategy, stealthily wrote our phone number on some ripped paper, and sneaked it into her tiny hand.

Two days later, she called from a taxi with another trafficking victim alongside her! They received a welcome pack of new clothes and living essentials, and immediately began trauma counseling for PTSD. While hopelessness thrives in the trafficking hubs where Eden does weekly Outreach, it is also in these places that hope has the most power.

The Promises of Hope Collection was inspired by the power of hope to declare new beginnings, possibilities, opportunities, and dreams.

About Eden Jewellery

Eden’s programs are based in South-East Asia, host to more than half of the global total of human trafficking victims. In 2014 Eden began its programs in Myanmar, a nation that has been a hotbed for human trafficking for years. Political instability, natural disasters, and internal ethnic infighting have led to a devastating lack of opportunity for the people of Myanmar. Each time we purchase a piece of jewellery from Eden we are supporting women who have experienced human trafficking and exploitation in Asia. Behind each jewellery maker is a brave story, one of suffering and trauma, but also one of healing and hope. The girls learn a skill, earn a living and are able to access community resources such as drop in centre, emergency shelter, trauma councelling, vocational training and education.
