The Project
At Establish, we believe every survivor deserves healing, safety, and hope for the future. Through federal and state partnerships, and with the support of our local community, we’ve created programs that equip everyday people to make a lasting difference.
THE PROBLEM:
Human Trafficking is an ongoing and pervasive crisis in Hawai’i.
1 in 11 adult males on Oʻahu were estimated to be sex buyers.
In 2021, 60% of clients recorded in Hawaiʻi’s Trafficking Victims Assistance Program database were confirmed trafficked.
More than half of those were children.
(Roe-Sepowitz & Jabola-Carolus, 2020 & Amina et al., 2022)
THE ESTABLISH SOLUTION:
Support: Evidence-informed training & lifelong mentorship
Housing: Safe, trauma-informed home settings
Healing: Comprehensive clinical & community-based services
OUR CLIENTS INCLUDE:
Survivors of trauma, with priority given to sex trafficking and exploitation.
Individuals transitioning out of exploitative or high-risk situations.

Everyday People Can Make a Difference. JOIN US!
Every survivor deserves safety, healing, and hope. But many lack consistent housing, mentorship, and trauma-informed care. Our courses equip you to fill those critical gaps, so survivors have the community they need to thrive.
You’ll learn how to:
Gain foundational knowledge to identify signs of human trafficking.
Understand trauma responses and offer compassionate support.
Build trusting relationships with survivors who’ve experienced betrayal and violence.
Collaborate with a statewide network of trained women and families
Prevent burnout by practicing self-care and boundaries
Survivors deserve more than rescue. They deserve connection, healing, and a future.
With your help, we’re building a statewide network of mentors, safe homes, and trauma-informed care that restores hope for survivors across Hawai‘i.
Option 1: Empowering Caregivers
Are you a foster parent, community member, or housing provider? This track equips you to offer safe, trauma-informed homes for survivors.
Option 2: Walking Alongside
Do you want to mentor, guide, or walk alongside survivors as they heal? This track connects you with a community of trained women from diverse backgrounds who provide consistent, trust-based support.
How It Works (3 Steps)
Learn → Get trained in trafficking specific, trauma-informed care.
Connect → Walk alongside survivors with compassion and consistency.
Transform → Be part of a community that changes lives forever.
