Columbus Aruna Run for Freedom

July 27 @ 9:00 am 5:00 pm

The Aruna Project creates lifelong freedom for victims of human trafficking through employment marked by holistic care. After women are freed and employed in our Freedom Business, they are provided a living wage, transitional housing, retirement savings, healthcare, and counseling so that they can begin the healing process and start building a foundation for their future. As Artisans, they are trained to produce a beautiful line of athleisure accessories that are sold in our online store and select US retailers, with the proceeds funding the holistic care each Artisan receives.

The catalyst for this freedom process is our network of Aruna Runs, hosted by volunteer race coordinators in communities across the country. Race participants run or walk for a trafficked woman by name who we are working to free through our Training Centers situated in the heart of the brothel systems. The impact is powerful as 100% of participant registration fees and donations go to the effort of creating lifelong freedom. In addition, the freed women employed by our Freedom business hand- make the giveaway items for each race.

Since the start of the Freedom Business in 2015 and Training Centers in 2017 in India, we have 27 management staff, have employed over 120 Artisans (women freed, employed, empowered) and impacted over 361 children, siblings, family and friends who are no longer at risk of trafficking and served another 4439 women in the brothel system. We have training centers on the edge of the brothel systems to accelerate the freedom process, two safe transitional housing facilities, and a beautiful production facility where Aruna products are handcrafted in freedom by empowered Artisans. In the US, we have a dedicated team of industry experts and are employing women freed from sex trafficking domestically in our US headquarters, creating an international sisterhood of those who have overcome.
