The Aruna Project is an athleisure lifestyle brand that creates lifelong freedom for survivors of human trafficking through employment supported by holistic care. We’ve created a vertically integrated model from brothel to business with a flywheel effect combining the best of non-profit and business. Through our US non-profit, we mobilize thousands across the US to run for her freedom in Aruna Runs or participate in our events. In running for a specific exploited woman by name, Aruna Run participants raise awareness of her need and raise money to help bring and sustain her freedom. Those funds are used in our training centers in the heart of the brothel systems to help free the women through a variety of programs, from daily visits in the brothels to trauma-informed counseling and skill & trade development to accelerate freedom. Through our Indian private limited company (for-profit business owned by the US non-profit), we employ those set free from human trafficking through our training programs.
