How You Help Transform Lives

Dear Not For Sale Friend & Supporter,

As we progress towards Giving Tuesday, we’re excited to share a heartening glimpse into the transformative work happening at Not For Sale. 

Our mission goes beyond only providing immediate aid; it’s about nurturing long-term empowerment and self-sufficiency, which you have helped to write.

A few months ago we introduced you to Aydee. She is from the Ese Eja indigenous community in the Amazon of Peru, and she is a shining example of the change we strive to achieve. 

With our help, Aydee embarked on an educational journey, culminating in her graduation and the beginning of a new chapter as a community leader. 

In fact, earlier this year she was voted onto the regional indigenous government board overseeing the region where she was born! 

Explore Aydee’s inspiring story of personal triumph in the ‘News from the Frontlines’ section on the Not For Sale website.

Aydee didn’t stop there. 

She is continuing to go above and beyond, giving back to the community. 

Last week she led educational initiatives for the Native Federation of the Madre de Dios River and Tributaries (FEMAMAD), focusing her efforts on the Matsiguenka people in the Manu National Park. She is developing programs that equip indigenous youth with the tools they need for future success, bridging gaps in education and opportunity.

This story isn’t just Aydee’s—it’s yours too. 

Your support has been instrumental in enabling us to empower individuals like Aydee. As we forge ahead towards Giving Tuesday, let’s celebrate these victories and the profound difference we can make together.

Your ongoing partnership is vital to our mission. Together, we can continue to change lives and build a future where no one is for sale.

Thank you for standing with us.

 

Warmest regards,
Mark Wexler 
CEO and Co-Founder

OUR NFS JAPAN STORY

Background

Japan faces significant challenges with human trafficking, manifesting in labor exploitation, particularly among foreign technical interns and students, and the sexual exploitation of Japanese nationals, including coercive involvement in the adult entertainment industry. Despite being a developed nation, Japan is a destination, source, and transit country for men, women, and children subjected to forced labor and sex trafficking. The Japanese government has acknowledged the issue and is taking measures to combat it, yet the problem persists, with civil society organizations like Not For Sale Japan actively working to raise awareness, support victims, and promote ethical consumption to combat these human rights abuses​​.
