History
At three years old in April 2016, this collaborative non-profit organization, co-created by Beth & Tim Tiger and Jess Hoertel, has raised over $550,000 to aid in the war against Modern Slavery. Durga Tree International's mission is to educate and economically empower survivors of Modern Slavery. Through sound business practices, creating economic platforms and educating survivors, Durga Tree supports programs which enable survivors to become thrivers, thereby increasing their chances of remaining outside of the slavery cycle, as well as protecting their next generation.
Specialties
In the spirit of collaboration, qualified partner organizations and their programs are vetted based on the Durga Tree International mission. Our organization supports their individual and collective strengths through fundraising, community outreach and education. Through our educational initiative, local US communities are educated about the many facets of Modern Slavery including their personal relationship to Human Trafficking. This forum allows us to further empower survivors by creating global demand for the fair trade goods they produce and sell by educating consumers.
