Two years ago, new members of Saco Bay Sunset Rotary Club, Rising Stars, were given a task to come up with their own service project. They decided on human trafficking. Their mission is to empower and engage Maine Communities to eradicate sex trafficking.
To carry this mission forward, the group developed a website, https://risingstarsproject.squarespace.com/ . Through the website, people can gain an understanding about human trafficking and learn the signs of sex trafficking and how sex traffickers get victims. The website can empower Rotarians to create awareness about sex human trafficking and support those who are sex trafficked.
To learn more contact Carol Marcotte at cmarcotte@une.edu to schedule a club meeting speaker. Visit the website to learn more about the project and subscribe to the upcoming newsletter.
This supports RIP Shekhar’s Empowering Girls Initiative as we work together to increase our impact through projects that protect, empower, and create equity for girls.
