Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

Empower Her Network (EHN) launched its survivor-centered, trauma-informed program in 2017 to address a national gap in services identified by immediate aftercare providers: most trafficking survivors exhaust resources with systemic barriers standing in the way of a realistic economic alternative, putting them at high risk of further exploitation, experiencing homelessness, and/or remaining in the service cycle their entire lives. Empower Her Network collaborates with trafficking survivors over 12 to 18 months to achieve their economic freedom by removing housing barriers, providing advocacy, financing education, and uncovering career paths. Every survivor who achieves fiscal independence is in a much better position to protect their children, ending generational cycles of poverty and exploitation.

Activities or mission (Part I)

TO PROVIDE FUNDING AND SUPPORT TO SURVIVORS OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING.

  • Empower Her Network (EHN) ended 2023 with over 90 nominating partners, 142 survivors active on an Empowerment Plan, and 203 alumni who completed the 12-to-18-month program. To date, 95% of alumni graduate with stable housing and experience an annual average wage increase of $9,863 (from $19,179 to $29,042). Every survivor who achieves fiscal independence is in a much better position to protect their children, ending generational cycles of poverty and exploitation.

On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
