Falmouth Rotary Brings Gift Portal Online

We are now providing an opportunity to purchase gifts which keep trafficking survivors and at-risk girls free from exploitation. We are showcasing jewelry and other products made by girls rescued from brothels or at high risk of being trafficked. These girls, trained by our partner NGO, Her Future Coalition, make beautiful jewelry and bags and scarves, and these items make wonderful holiday gifts.

Go the our marketplace here:

https://shop.herfuturecoalition.org/collections/rotary-marketplace

Don't forget to use the code FCCR which gives you a discount and helps support our club's anti-trafficking activities (funding skills based education for at-risk girls in the Himalayas).

*If you are another Rotary club, contact us to find out how you can have a similar marketplace for your club.
