Mary & Cole in Southeast Asia

Providing safe work and education oppourtunities

Why we're going

We've moved to SE Asia to partner with a local-led organization that seeks to break the cycle of human trafficking by providing hairdressing education and safe work opportunities at a salon.

In SE Asia, poverty is a leading cause of people entering exploitative work. Learning the trade of hairdressing is one way of empowering individuals to earn an income through safe and dignified work.

Mary will be using her skills as a hairdresser to support the work of the hair program at a vocational school through training and teaching.
