“The more I would go on great assignments around the world and if we’re in Africa for a shoot…we were using that beautiful backdrop for pictures and for making so much money,” she said. “But behind me were these beautiful little children and women that were really just experiencing a lot of need and injustice.”

Out of her desire to help victims of human trafficking, Meza created Puresa Organics, a faith-based company whose goal is to empower women through spiritual, mental, physical, and emotional rehabilitation. The company then gives rescued women new skills and provides employment so that they are able to sustain themselves and start a new life.

Partnering with Project Rescue Nepal, the company started in 2007 with twelve rescued women and has grown to 265 in three years.

Project Rescue is another faith-based organization that aims to provide a safe haven for victims of sex trafficking.]]> http://www.religionnewsblog.com/25025/1045-am-et-share-this-on-facebook-twitter-digg-del-icio-us-reddit-mixx-myspace-stumbleupon-share-comments-3-comments-permalink-faith-based-fashion-company-rescues-women-from-human-trafficking/feed 0 http://www.religionnewsblog.com/23565/uganda-human-sacrifice-cult http://www.religionnewsblog.com/23565/uganda-human-sacrifice-cult#comments Fri, 21 Aug 2009 14:13:41 +0000 Religion News Blog http://www.religionnewsblog.com/?p=23565 A Uganda newspapers has learnt that Police earlier this year, acting on a tip-off, sanctioned an investigation into claims that some wealthy people in the country are responsible for the spiralling acts of child human sacrifice in the country.
