About This Project

  • Human Trafficking is the 2nd largest criminal industry in the world. It's modern day slavery.
  • It's happening here in the US, but is especially active in N.Carolina & Charlotte.
  • We're in the top 10 states & among the top 8 cities for human trafficking activity nationally.

Besides awareness, the single greatest need is for safe-houses, places rescued survivors can go to begin their journey toward wholeness.

End Slavery In Charlotte (ESC) has established its 1st home for rescued victims of human trafficking & sexual exploitation. This home is being used as a prototype for creating a volunteer-driven model of providing a safe haven for women coming out of sex exploitation. This model, if successful, will be replicated throughout the city in order to meet the great need for immediate housing & survivor-support while also providing a place of service not just for a few but for hundreds of ordinary people with huge hearts to be more involved hands-on in anti-trafficking on the local front. Thus, making it the most simple, most replicable, & most economical way to house these survivors.

  1. The 1st house is paid for & filled with all the things that make it a home.
  2. This house has volunteer staff that has been training for months & is ready.
  3. The ESC SafeHouse has already taken in its 1st resident & is ready to begin taking in more survivors once its very last need is met. That's where you come in...

We only need a little help from you in order to begin taking in more residents by Feb 1st, 2016. That's it. Help us meet that goal. You can do it!
